NO student should have an Apple mouse connected to their ChromeBook

Please do not disconnect them from our multimedia machines for them to use temporarily. Keep this as a strict rule. Apart from starting a bad habit, those fragile wires snap easily, and we can't replace them with expensive Apple meece when they break.

NB: No teacher should have an Apple mouse for personal use either if it belongs to the school. If you require one, use one of the 3rd party ones. The Apple ones are precious and are to be used by children on our Apple computers.
