đź’»Chromebook Care
Our TPSS students will be issued a Chromebook at the start of the school year. When using the Chromebook, it’s important to keep it protected from getting dirty or damaged. By following these basic tips, you can make sure that your chid's issued Chromebook stays in the best condition and is always ready whenever it's needed.
TIPS FOR STUDENTS
#1 KEEP IT ON A FLAT SURFACE
By keeping your Chromebook off of the floor and on a flat surface like a table or desk, you can lessen the risk of it getting knocked over, stepped on, or dropped on the floor.
#2 DON’T PILE THINGS ON TOP
Your Chromebook wasn’t designed to support heavy weight. To prevent the screen or spine from getting damaged, try not to place anything too heavy on top of your Chromebook.
#3 KEEP THE KEYBOARD CLEAN AND CLEAR
Avoid leaving anything on your keyboard while using your Chromebook. If you close your Chromebook with small items on the keyboard, like pencils or paperclips, there’s a risk of the screen getting scratched or cracked.
#4 KEEP FOOD AND DRINKS AWAY
Remember to put your Chromebook away whenever you take a break to eat a snack or have a drink. Crumbs and accidental spills can get in between the keys of your keyboard, which can affect your Chromebook’s performance and increase the risk of additional damage over time.
#5 BE CAREFUL HOW YOU CARRY IT
Try to carry your Chromebook with two hands at all times. If your Chromebook is dropped too many times or falls more than a few inches, there’s a good chance it will get damaged, stop working properly, or stop turning on.
#6 KEEP IT CHARGED
Done using your Chromebook for the day? Remember to plug it in! Keeping your Chromebook’s battery fully charged whenever you’re not using it will make sure that it’s always ready for the next time you need it.
#7 TELL YOUR TEACHER IF IT BREAKS
While these tips will help you keep your Chromebook in good condition, accidents can still happen. If your Chromebook does get damaged, stops working, or isn’t working the way it should, tell your teacher as soon as possible! A TPSS teacher or staff member can help you determine whether your Chromebook can be fixed or if you’ll need a replacement.
#8 REMEMBER THAT YOUR CHROMEBOOK IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Remember, it’s each student’s responsibility to follow guidelines for keeping Chromebooks clean and in good condition. Students are also responsible for anything they view or click while using a school Chromebook, so remember to stay on approved sites, keep your password private, and log off when you’re done.
#9 TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHROMEBOOK CABLES
Students are also required to use Chromebook charging cables properly. Whenever your Chromebook isn’t charging, be sure to store the charging cables in a dry, safe place. Using the velcro strips attached to the cables to keep them neatly securely rolled will help them stay free of knots and protect them from wear and tear.
