Do not remove labels or barcodes from Chromebooks or Chargers.
The labels and barcodes allow you to easily identify the items checked out to you. Do Not place stickers on covers or Chromebooks. If you want to personalize, carefully remove cover and add easily removable pictures, but no stickers and then replace cover. If you damage the device, cover or charger, you will need to pay for replacements or repairs. Charger your Chromebook daily and leave the charger at home.
