๐Ÿ’ป Elementary Chromebook Damages

Elementary Chromebook Damages

The Technology Department would like to remind you that in the event in which a Student Chromebook is damaged by means other than normal wear and tear (i.e. abuse, neglect, intentional damage, horseplay), there will be a fee charged for repairs, not to exceed the replacement cost of the Chromebook.  Incidents will be documented and will result in an invoice being sent to parents\guardians.  A copy of this invoice will be uploaded to HAC until payment is received. Please review Good Habits for Elementary Chromebook Use with your student.
