As we integrate Chromebooks into our classroom, it's essential to emphasize the importance of appropriate care for these devices. Chromebooks are a privilege that enhances our learning experience, and we encourage students to treat them with respect.

Please remind your child to handle their Chromebook carefully, as any damage may lead to consequences, including potential fees for repairs. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that they maintain the device properly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Together, we can ensure a positive learning environment for all our schools.
