Day Loan and Chromebook Reminders
With the new semester it's a good time to check in with your student and remind them of good school habits when it comes to Chromebooks.
- Remember to charge your chromebook every night adn keep it with your backpack so you don't forget it.
- Be careful with your backpack - we've been seeing a lot of broken hinges because of the way students handle their backpacks.
- Buy a case for your Chromebook - help mitigate damage and avoid those high fines. The more padding on the case, the better the protection.
