Taking Care of Your Chromebook
Students are responsible for the general care of the Chromebook they have been issued by the school.
Chromebooks that are broken or fail to work properly must be reported to their respective school. The school
will contact the Technology Services Department as soon as possible so that they can be taken care of properly.
District-owned Chromebooks should never be taken to an outside computer service for any type of repairs or
maintenance. Students should never leave their Chromebooks unattended except locked in their hallway locker.
A: General Precautions
No food or drink should be next to Chromebooks.
Cords, cables, and removable storage devices must be inserted carefully into Chromebooks.
Chromebooks should not be used or stored near pets.
Chromebooks should not be used with the power cord plugged in when the cord may be a
tripping hazard.
Chromebooks must remain free of any writing, drawing, stickers and labels.
Heavy objects such as books or binders should never be placed on top of Chromebooks.
B: Carrying Chromebooks
Always transport Chromebooks with care.
Never lift Chromebooks by the screen.
Never Carry Chromebooks with the screen open.
C: Screen Care
The Chromebook screen can be damaged if subjected to heavy objects, rough treatment, some cleaning
solvents, and other liquids. The screens are particularly sensitive to damage from excessive pressure:
Do not put pressure on the top of a Chromebook when it is closed.
Do not store a Chromebook with the screen open.
Make sure there is nothing on the keyboard before closing the lid (e.g. pens, pencils, or disks).
Only clean the screen with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or anti-static cloth.
D: Asset Tags
All Chromebooks will be labeled with a District asset tag.
Asset tags may not be modified or tampered with in any way.
Students may be charged up to the full replacement cost of a Chromebook for tampering with a
District asset tag or turning in a Chromebook without a District asset tag.
E: Consequences
Any damage or misuse of technology devices or related equipment may result in disciplinary
intervention that may include, but is not limited to, detentions, suspensions, and/or financial
reimbursements.
F: Insurance Option
Insurance for the Chromebook may be purchased. Please visit the District website for all information
regarding insurance options for Chromebooks.
