REMINDER: "Hello from the Tech Department! As a reminder, students are required to bring a charged Chromebook to school every day. A small supply of Chromebooks will be available for 'daily check out' in the Learning Center for those students who infrequently forget their Chromebooks, or whose Chromebooks are being repaired.
New for Quarter 2: To help foster responsibility for bringing charged Chromebooks to school, we will be using 'guidance' through Minga when students have reached 6 checkouts per quarter. At 6 checkouts, students will start to receive warnings (and notifications home) about abusing the Daily Chromebook Check Out. At 10 checkouts, students will receive a Lunch Detention through Minga. And every 5 checkouts after that will equal a Pond Detention through Minga.
If your school-issued Chromebook is experiencing technical difficulties, or if it has been damaged or misplaced, please stop by the Learning Center to seek help from Mrs. Hungerford. It is important to take care of Chromebook issues quickly so to avoid needing to check out Daily Chromebooks as a regular occurrence." - Ms. Hungerford
