Chromebook Care & Expectations

Damaged Chromebooks:

General Care of the Chromebook:

  • Insert cords, cables and removable storage devices carefully

  • Do not deface the device with writing, drawings, stickers, labels, etc. that have not been approved in writing by Broken Arrow Public Schools

  • Do not place heavy objects on the device

  • Always carry the device with care; the screen should not be open when being carried.

  • Do not lift the device by the screen.

  • Do not store the device where other items can place pressure on the screen (e.g. backpack).

  • Clean the screen only with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or anti-static cloth. DO NOT USE CLEANING SOLVENTS OR OTHER LIQUIDS ON THE SCREEN.
