The Honeoye Central School District’s one-to-one initiative provides every district student with a Chromebook to be used as a learning tool. To encourage ongoing educational opportunities, students in grades 6-11 will keep their Chromebooks, power adaptors, and cases over the summer. Students are encouraged to use their devices to pursue academic learning, hobbies, and other passions as long as those pursuits would be appropriate on a school device. Examples include coding, audio-visual production, reading, writing, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities. High school students should also consider using summer months to research colleges and apply for scholarships.
Device Damage: These devices do not require regular maintenance over the summer and can be safely stored on a shelf with the charger nearby. If your Chromebook is in need of repair over the summer, please complete the Technology Help Request Form or email techhelp@honeoye.org.
We have learned that broken screens are the most common repair at HCS. Please be constantly aware that a Chromebook screen is a sheet of glass. Try and get in the habit of gently placing the Chromebook into a backpack and always keeping it in its case.
Filtering: All Chromebooks will continue to be filtered according to local, state, and federal policies and will remain the property of Honeoye Central School.
Withdrawal: If a student is withdrawing from Honeoye Central School at the end of June 2024, or anytime throughout the summer, the Chromebook, charger, and case must be returned to the Counseling Office.

Summer Chromebook Procedures
For your convenience, we are providing the following tips to ensure proper care and use of Chromebooks during the summer break:
Care:
Keep Chromebooks away from pets and young children
Avoid exposing Chromebooks to heat, direct sunlight, and liquids
Do not leave Chromebooks in hot cars
Turn on the Chromebook regularly throughout the summer to receive necessary software updates
Do no carry Chromebooks in a bag/backpack with liquids
Monitoring Activity:
Continue monitoring Chromebook use at home, checking the browser, and observing student activity
Content filtering is not a substitute for adult supervision. Please supervise or limit unsupervised time
Summer Repairs/Damages:
Battery Tips:
Do not let the Chromebook battery fully discharge over the summer. Even when a Chromebook is off, its battery continues to slowly lose charge. If left long enough, the batteries might no longer function and can’t be recharged.
Charge your Chromebook at least every 2 weeks
Keeping Your Chromebook Clean
Never use any product containing any alcohol, ammonia, or other strong solvent to clean your Chromebook
Do NOT spray or wipe your Chromebook with any Windex/household cleaner/water/or cleaning wipes
Clean your Chromebook key and screen with a lightly moistened soft cloth
