Chromebooks are school-issued devices, and thus, they are school property. School property is expected to be used safely and responsibly in accordance with the Acceptable Use Agreement.
Students who lose their Chromebook, recklessly or willfully damage a Chromebook, or whose gross negligence damages the device, will be held accountable for the cost of repair or replacement. The cost of full replacement is $250.
To care for their Chromebook properly and avoid having to pay for repair or replacement, students should:
Keep Chromebooks on a flat surface like a table or desk.
Handle the Chromebook with two hands. Avoid carrying the Chromebook by the screen and avoid walking or running with it in your hands.
Avoid placing physical items between the screen and the keyboard like a pen or highlighter during usage. If the Chromebook is quickly closed, the item may shatter the screen.
Avoid throwing backpacks that contain a Chromebook.
Avoid eating or drinking near a Chromebook.
If your Chromebook has an issue, report it to a teacher or administrator immediately.
Lastly, as always, never leave your Chromebook unattended. Log off when you are not using it and keep your password private.
