Parent Resources & Important Steps
Students will be expected to bring their Chromebook to school each day. Lessons and use will depend on the teacher and what they have prepared to teach. It is important that your student charge their device each night to ensure it is ready for them to connect, discover, create and share.
Each student will receive a charging cable with their Chromebook. Each Chromebook and charging cable will be labeled with an identifying sticker with each students’ name and student ID.
If a Chromebook is charged nightly, the device will work the entire school day. Help your student to make charging their device a habit/daily routine to ensure it is ready to be used when they are at school.
