PLEASE be mindful of your borrowed Chromebook. Please do not attach stickers or download items to personalize your profile. Be careful when it is inside your backpack. The screen will crack if you toss your backpack OR if it gets too hot from being left in the sun. Do not place anything between the keyboard and the screen. PLEASE walk with your laptop either closed or inside your backpack.
Your laptop should remain in your backpack during lunch or snack time in the lunch arbor.
