4. We encourage students NOT to bring your power cords to school. There is no need to if the device is charged nightly. Average battery life on a Chromebook should exceed the school day based on usage so charge your devices at home.
5. DO NOT DECORATE OR DEFACE THE CHROMEBOOK IN ANY WAY. The district has provided labels to identify each Chromebook and student with their NAME, STUDENT ID, and WASD GOOGLE LOGIN name. Most of our Chromebook fleet is also UV printed with a label on the bottom of the device with the CHROMEBOOK NAME (Ex. WASD25-1234) and SERIAL# (Ex. 5CD025F89G).
6. The district does not implement a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy at this time. Students MUST use district issued Chromebooks only and they are not permitted to bring personal Chromebooks, MacBook or Windows laptops, iPads, etc. The only approved student devices are cell phones on our Guest network. Any student caught any aforementioned personal device besides a cell phone will be issued a warning and the personal device will be confiscated until the end of the school day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...
1. What if I purchased the insurance which covers accidental damages and the Chromebook just stops working?
If the Chromebook is returned for repair to the IT Department and shows no sign of damages, we will attempt to be repair in house. If it cannot be repaired, we will issue an equivalent replacement Chromebook and notify AKKO to swap Serial# on your policy so you will be covered on the replacement device issued.
2. What if my power cord is lost or stolen?
The district will issue a replacement power cord and the student/parent will be responsible for the replacement cost which is $20.00.
3. Do I have to purchase the insurance?
NO. The insurance is optional but encouraged. The cost of replacement parts is as follows…
11” Chromebook display - $30.00 Keyboard Assembly - $20.00 Hinge Assemble - $40.00
Motherboard - $50.00 Hinge Cover - $5.00 Screen Bezel - $10.00
If the Chromebook is lost/stolen or damaged beyond repair and the damage was determine to be intentional, the replacement cost is $125.00 which is the estimated average value of our current Chromebook fleet of devices. If a Chromebook is damaged beyond repair and it was accidental, we will charge for the replacement items needed to repair it and simply replace the device. Ex. If the Chromebook needs a motherboard replacement after a spilled liquid and there's a cracked screen, we will charge for the motherboard cost of $50 and the screen replacement of $30 and replace the device if it's not repairable. The only time we charge for the full device replacement is for anyone who didn't purchase the insurance and the device was lost, stolen, or intentionally damaged beyond repair.
