Taking care of your Chromebook is an important part of making sure it works when you need it most. Treat it like a valuable tool, not just another school supply. Follow these tips to keep it safe, clean, and ready for learning all year long:
- Carry it the right way – Hold it with both hands, lid closed, and never pick it up by the screen.
- Keep the protective case on – It’s there to protect against drops, scratches, and “oops” moments.
- Avoid food and drinks nearby – Crumbs and spills can cause serious damage.
- Watch the temperature – Don’t leave it in hot cars, direct sun, or freezing cold.
- Be gentle with the screen and keyboard – No poking the screen, slamming the lid, or leaving objects on the keyboard.
- Charge it overnight – Plug it in before bed so it’s ready for the next day.
- Report issues right away – Cracks, missing keys, or charging problems should be reported to a teacher or tech office immediately.
- Take responsibility – It’s checked out to you, so treat it like you would your own phone or other important device.
