Proper Chromebook Care
We have recently seen some unique damage to Chromebooks that we want to bring to your attention of our families. Attached is a picture of the most common intentional damage we are experiencing. This is the result of the panel that rests between the keys of the keyboard being intentionally peeled off. This is not something that is easy to do or can happen accidentally. This damaged keyboard costs $90 to replace. Please take a moment to talk with your student about proper Chromebook care.
Please remember that the Chromebook belongs to the district and your student is borrowing it while at Lake Denoon. Purchasing the insurance does not cover intentional damage, please see the Muskego Norway Chromebook Service Plan.
Please contact Monica Keough or Amy Kounelis x7407 with any questions or concerns.
