Oops! I Forgot to Bring and / or Charge My Chromebook
Just a quick reminder that we have a limited number of Chromebooks for students whose device is being repaired. For that reason, and because of a directive from the CEC, we do nott lend out Chromebooks to kids who forget their device at home. For students who forget to charge their Chromebooks, we have a few chargers on hand for kids to checkout and use in the LMC Unfortunately, because of high demand (and forgetful adolescents), we don’t allow them to leave the room. We do have 12 desktop computers in the LMC. When we distribute the devices or talk to parents, we suggest students develop a habit of putting their bookbag and Chromebook in the same spot every night and make sure to plug it in. A recent NY Times article discussed how to help teenagers remember to bring their stuff to school. Worth a read.
