  • Never allowing food or drink to be consumed near the computer.

  • Never attempting to repair a computer without consulting authorized school personnel.

  • Never downloading unauthorized software onto the computer.

  • Repeated negative care for your Chromebook could result in having your take-home privilege revoked.

• Parents are responsible for immediately notifying a school administrator if the computer is stolen while away from school so that the school resource officer can file a police report.

• Student and parents understand that only a CMS issued Gmail account can be used to access the Chromebook.

• The CMS issued Chromebook and charging cord will be returned prior to the end of the current school year or upon withdrawing or withdrawal from the school.
