Chromebook Reminder

/in /by

Attention Middle School Parents,

Please remind your student that the only charging cable they are to use with their Chromebook is the one given to them at the beginning of school.  Already this year we have had multiple Chromebooks stop working because their batteries were damaged using a cable that was not meant for them.

The cable provided by the school has the precise Hz needed to charge the Chromebook battery safely.  Using a higher Hz charger can cause the battery to swell and overheat; if this occurs the Chromebook is not covered under the insurance and you will be charged for any damage that needed to repair it.

Thank you for your attention to this.
