Parent Expectations. In order for students to experience all the success and benefits that this program can offer, NPD117 encourages parents to: ● Help ensure the Chromebook battery is charged each day ● Participate in the Chromebook orientation with your student ● Share in your child’s excitement about this great opportunity for learning ● Learn along with your child as he/she uses this instructional tool ● Monitor your child’s appropriate Internet use and adherence to Internet guidelines when using his/her Chromebook. The NPD117 content filter is in place to prevent access to inappropriate material. While this is a robust filtering system, inappropriate content can, at times, be accessed. If this occurs, students should immediately report such an event to school personnel, and parents are encouraged to reinforce this with your daughter/son. ● Assist in completing appropriate paperwork in the event that the Chromebook requires repair, is lost or stolen ● Ensure that only the student and family members will use this computer for school-related purposes Caring For Chromebook ● For prolonged periods of inactivity, please shut down the computer completely before closing lid. ● Wait until the Chromebook screen is completely black before closing the lid. ● Dimming the LCD brightness of your screen and turning off Bluetooth will extend the battery run time. ● Take extreme caution with the screen. The screens are very susceptible to damage from excessive pressure or weight. NEVER PICK UP THE CHROMEBOOK BY THE SCREEN or place your finger directly on the screen with any force. Always close the lid before moving your Chromebook. ● Adding anything to the case beyond the Chromebook will damage the Chromebook. Textbooks, notebooks, binders, and other materials, are not allowed in the Chromebook case. ● Never sit on the Chromebook or case. ● Liquids, food and other debris can damage the Chromebook. Avoid eating or drinking while using the Chromebook. DO NOT keep food or food wrappers in your case. ● Take care when inserting cords, cables and other removable storage devices to avoid damage to the Chromebook ports. First, plug your power supply into the electrical outlet. Second, plug your power cord into your Chromebook. When disconnecting, reverse this process. ● Do not expose your Chromebook to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or ultraviolet light for extended periods of time (including in a car). Extreme heat or cold may cause damage to the Chromebook. If your Chromebook has been in a very cold environment for a long period of time, let it warm up before using it. Cleaning The Chromebook The Chromebook will be in the student’s possession all school year long, so students are encouraged to perform simple cleaning procedures as outlined below: ● Always disconnect the Chromebook from the power outlet before cleaning. ● Clean the screen with a soft, dry anti-static or micro-fiber cloth. Do not use any type of liquid or water to clean the screen or Chromebook. ● Wash hands frequently when using the Chromebook to avoid build-up on the touch pad.
