CHROMEBOOK CARE REMINDERS
Tips for Proper Chromebook Care:
1. Do NOT place stickers on school devices.
2. Do NOT write on school devices with marker or pencil.
3. DO carry school Chromebooks in protective cases or inside a backpack (do not then throw your backpack around with a device inside).
4. REPORT any damages or lost devices/ chargers to Mrs. Deavers, our Technology Integration Specialist, the SAME DAY if possible. Ms. Deavers is available at ALL student lunch periods (8th - in library, 6th & 7th - in the cafeteria).
5. CHARGE the school's device EVERY NIGHT so you are prepared for class the next school day.
Students who have multiple or large unpaid technology invoices for past devices will not be allowed to bring their devices home each night to protect them from incurring more charges. Please contact Ms. Deavers, 304-267-3540, if you have questions about an invoice or charge.
