At this time, there are NO Daily Loaners. You MUST come to school prepared with a fully charged device. If you come to school without your chromebook, or with a chromebook that is dead, you will need to go to the Main Office and call home for your device or charger to be brought to school.
If your Chromebook is damaged, come to the Library, during homeroom, with a pass:
Mrs. Haqq will create a work ticket for your Chromebook.
When a replacement becomes available, you will be called down to the library to collect it.
IF YOU HAVE A REPAIR FEE: You may pay ONLINE: through GENESIS. Follow the DIRECTIONS FOR PAYSCHOOLS to learn how to create an account and pay online. Once the fine is added to Genesis, you have 30 days to make a payment or initiate a payment plan. Chromebooks may be locked if payment is not received within 30 days.
A full break down on fees can be found in the Technology Agreement above on page 7.
CHARGER: Unless the charger is found to be defective, the cost of replacement of a power supply/charger for a device is $30.
You may replace the charger on your own. If your device uses a USBC charger, please look for a new charger with these specifications:
Type: USBC
Power: 65W
Input: 100-240V~1.7A 50-60Hz
Output: 20V/15V/9V/5V⎓3.25/3/3/3A
Payment plan options may be offered on a case-by-case basis.
It shouldn't take more than a day or 2, before your student receives notification about whether money is owed which will be reflected in Genesis.
Typical fined damages include:
cracked case
cracked screen
broken hinges
missing keys
broken track pad
broken charging/headphone/USB port
liquid damage
Students will NOT be fined when the issue is manufacture or operating system related. These issues include:
battery not holding a charge
operating system not functioning correctly
Cases are available for purchase that will help protect and extend the life of your Chromebook. You can find some good recommendations and ideas in this Android Authority article.
Treat your Chromebook gently. DO NOT:
walk from class to class with it open
close it with a notebook or other item inside
plunk it down on a desk or table
leave it open while unattended
leave it on the floor
put it on the heater
In the event the Chromebook goes missing, is lost, or stolen, IMMEDIATELY inform the District, in writing to helpdesk@twpunionschools.org, and, in the case of a stolen Chromebook, immediately file a police report and provide a copy to the District.
