District Chromebooks
- District Chromebooks and charge cords are checked out through the school library, room 40, against your district library account.
- Students are responsible for bringing their CHARGED Chrombook and charge cord to school each day.
- If you forget your device or charge cord, you can borrow a loaner from the library in the mornings (except Wednesdays) before school or during the first 20 minutes of class (must have MINGA HALL PASS from your teacher). Loaners are due that day by 2:20pm.
- If your device or charge cord become damaged, REPORT to the school library immediately. Do not throw out - you will need to turn in for replacement.
- If your device or charge cord is stolen, REPORT to the school library immediately and complete a POLICE REPORT.
