At least twice a month, you should restart your device at school. Otherwise, your laptop will not receive important Microsoft and STM updates that are pushed out to devices. Reconnecting to the school network every so often is good for your laptop. You also can change your password. This video shows you how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6ouBcTtjOc
