A note from Mr. Dubinsky
Remind your child to treat district technology devices with care
Families should have a conversation at home about the importance of appropriately using the district's technology devices. Appropriate use includes: carrying the device carefully, keeping liquids away from devices, and not leaving devices in areas with extreme heat or cold. The district will charge families for replacement or repair of district technology devices. The full list of costs is available here: www.ccsd89.org/techdamage
CCSD 89 families that need support for iPad or Chromebook issues should use the district’s online help system. Enter your contact information and some details about the problem at: https://bit.ly/89techsupport
