Protecting your Chromebook/iPad

  • Do not add any stickers or any other decorative items that would alter the appearance of the Chromebook/iPad from when you received it.
  • Do not tamper with the school tags that are present on the Chromebook/iPad.
  • Use both hands when opening the Chromebook.
  • Do not hold the Chromebook/iPad by the screen.
  • Always close the Chromebook before walking with it.
  • Be sure to place the Chromebook/iPad in its protective case (if provided) when walking the halls or not in use.
  • Never pack your Chromebook/iPad with other materials. Keep it separate from textbooks and other heavy objects that could potentially damage the screen.
  • Keep food and drink away from your Chromebook/iPad.
  • Treat your Chromebook/iPad as a valuable material--do not leave it lying around.

Cleaning your Chromebook/iPad

  • Do not use any chemicals or other liquids to clean your Chromebook/iPad.
  • Use microfiber cloth to wipe down the screen.

Powering your Chromebook/iPad

  • Chromebooks/iPads are required to be fully charged when you arrive at school each day or when used at home for distance learning.
  • When charging, be sure to place the Chromebook/iPad in an area that will prevent people from tripping on the power cord. This could injure the person and/or damage the Chromebook/iPad.
  • Determine a consistent place to charge your Chromebook/iPad at home.

Protecting your Account

  • Anytime you leave your Chromebook on your desk, close the lid so that no one can access your documents.
  • Do not share your password with anyone!

What to do if your Chromebook/iPad has a problem

  • If your device requires service please contact your teacher so that they can begin the repair process.
  • If your Headphone jack is not working, we recommend that you purchase USB headphones or Bluetooth.

Other important reminders

Anything you do on the Internet (on any device) is visible to someone--the Internet Service Provider, the company whose service you are using, others who can access your computer, etc.

Pictures, music, etc., on your Chromebook/iPad should be appropriate for school--just like the pictures inside your locker or on your binder or music that might be played in a classroom at school.
