Chromebook REMINDERS
- It is so important that students take very good care of their Chromebooks. Please avoid dropping the device, closing it with pencils inside, cracking the case and screen, spilling food and liquids on the screen and keyboard, and other actions that can damage the device.
- Please help your student remember to charge the Chromebook each and every night.
- Do not log off or turn the Chromebook off when you are done using it. Just close the lid. Our younger students have trouble logging into the Chromebooks on their own, and this is very time consuming for teachers to do every morning for an entire class.
