Chrome Book Safety

These Chromebooks are not toys nor are they your phones, they’re for learning. In order to succeed you need your Chromebook to learn which will lead to success. You can’t reach success without the tools necessary so treat your Chromebooks with care. Below some guidelines will be listed that can help better take care of your Chromebook.

 

Charging Chromebooks

  • In many cases, students had a bad battery in their laptops or broken chargers last school year.
  • The best way to stop that from happening is to stop charging Chromebooks overnight.
  • Don’t overcharge your Chromebook, it messes with the battery which also could mess up the charging port
  • That could lead to chargers shorting out, please when your Chromebook is fully charged remove it and you will have a longer-lasting charger and battery.

 

Locked Chromebooks

  • Locked devices are Chromebooks that have been reported stolen or lost.
  • Once it’s been marked in the system it’s going to have a lock on the screen.
  • The Chromebook is unusable until it has been unmarked from stolen.
  • Students, please be advised stealing another student’s Chromebook is pointless, they’re all assigned to a student and if found with another student’s stolen device, it can lead to steep consequences.

Cracked Screens

  • When closing your Chromebook take care to check to see if there are any objects in the way when closing it such as a pencil, pen, etc.
  • Something as small as a pencil can crack your Chromebook screen if enough force is applied.
  • To prevent that double-check your laptop before you close it.
