Chromebook Care
It is very important that these Chromebooks are treated with care. These Chromebooks are property of San Jacinto Valley Academy and they are sensitive machines. The screen is especially susceptible to damage. Make sure to not force a Chromebook into a backpack, or place it in a situation where a large amount of pressure is exerted on to it. Do not stack anything on top of the Chromebook, and do not leave it in a backpack out in the rain. You may place a small sticker with your name on the Chromebook to identify it, but please do not cover the Chromebook with stickers.
Please note: Intentional damage or damage caused by misuse of the Chromebook will result in potential fees that will need to be paid before another Chromebook is issued.

Chromebook Repair Procedure:
If a student has any issues with their Chromebook, they can come by room 36 before school, during lunch or after school. No matter the circumstance, students who report in to IT will leave with a working Chromebook. While the Chromebook is being repaired, a loaner Chromebook will be issued to the student. It is required that this loaner Chromebook remain free of stickers, otherwise additional repair fees will apply. Once the Chromebook is repaired the student will be emailed, and if in elementary, the teacher will be included. The student has 7 days to pick up their original Chromebook, otherwise their loaner will be locked down. It Is very important the student comes to pick up the Chromebook in room 36 before the 7 days expires, to remain able to complete their work.
