CHROMEBOOK CARE FOR SUMMER
Take care of your Chromebook this summer! The following are just a few reminders on how to keep your Chromebook in tip-top shape this summer, so it will be ready to use next school year. Psst! Tip one: Don't use it on the ground!
- Keep on a flat, even surface. Do not walk around with your CB open.
- Do not keep your CB on blankets, pillows, or other soft surfaces to avoid overheating.
- Store your charger in a safe place, do not crimp, stretch, or pull on the cord.
- Keep all food and drink away from your CB.
- Do not share or loan out your CB. Keep it in your possession.
- Avoid placing or dropping heavy items on your CB.
- Do not leave your CB in a hot car, it can cause overheating.
- Use protective cushioning when transporting your CB.
For more tips on CB care, please review the document below.

- You get to keep your Chromebook through summer vacation, but only if you will be attending Chico High, Pleasant Valley, Chico Jr., Bidwell Jr., Marsh Jr. or Oak Bridge Academy next school year
- If you are NOT attending one of the six mentioned schools, RETURN the Chromebook to to your school or District Office to avoid being charged for the cost of the device.
