The device selected for the GUHSD FutureForward Program is a Chromebook. A Chromebook is a laptop that only runs the Internet through the Chrome browser. It has a long battery life and comes with a sturdy case. Additionally, this device integrates seamlessly with GUHSD’s primary productivity toolset, Google Apps for Education, and numerous other web-based tools. Although the Chromebook is meant to be used in an online platform, it does have offline capabilities and internal storage.
Just like a textbook, these devices will become essential parts of the classroom experience at Valhalla High School. Students are responsible for bringing their Chromebook to and from school and ensuring that it is fully charged each day.
The RUP packet includes the RUP agreement form, the Cox to Connect information about low-cost Internet service for low-income families, and the Chromebook Protection Plan (Insurance) paperwork.
Please note: All students/parents/guardians who checked the RUP box during registration have electronically signed the RUP agreement form.

There are many common sense steps you can take to keep your Chromebook from being damaged.
Keep your Chromebook in its case (many students were fined for damage that could have been easily avoided if they kept their Chromebook in its case)
Don't eat or drink over your keyboard (over time, crumbs and drops of liquid can cause a lot of damage)
Keep liquids away from your Chromebook
Don't leave your Chromebook unattended
Open and close your Chromebook gently
Close your Chromebook before moving it and before carrying it around
Be sure not to close your Chromebook while something is on your keyboard (ear buds + closing the screen = cracked screen fine)
Don't drop your Chromebook
Be very careful with your charger. The plug and port are delicate. Unplug by pulling from the box rather than the cord.
