Please remind your student to always keep up with her/his Chromebook and charger. Chromebooks should be taken home each night and charged and then brought to school the next day ready for instruction. There have been several left in classrooms, in the gym, the cafeteria, on the bus and even outside at lunch. These actions could cause damage to the Chromebook. Also, insurance is still available for purchase by going to https://schooldevicecoverage.com/
The deadline is September 29, 2023. Thank you! Go Stingers!!!
