Please Remember to Charge Chrome Books at Night and Bring in Charging Cord!
We have a very limited amount of charging cords available. Once we rent them out, we do not have any more to loan to students. We are running into situations where students do not have access to their chrome books because they are not charged and we do not have available chargers or chrome books to give them.
