Need a replacement charger* for your CMS Chromebook? Want to purchase a Chromebook for your household? (You can even purchase the same type of Windows laptop that CMS teachers use!) Go here!

*You can pay for a new charger through the Online School Payments portal and then come by the school to pick up a charger or purchase one yourself via this site. Please note, though, that you will still need to return a charger with your Chromebook or else be charged $21 at that time.
