The Chromebook devices are 2-in-1, which means they have touch screen capabilities and can support a traditional laptop mode, tent mode, or even flipped mode. Furthermore, the Chromebook devices are designed for children, which has greater durability protection with the ability to withstand minor drops and accidental spills in some situations.
All school purchased Chromebook devices while on campus are automatically enrolled and covered under an insurance plan to protect against accidental damages that may occur while students are on campus.

Parents will be responsible for any repair or replacement costs that may occur to a Chromebook outside of school.
