6.  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).

7.  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. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...

1.     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.      What are the fees costs associated with Chromebook damages?

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.  

How do I pay if I'm charged for repairs?

When Chromebooks are returned for repairs and it's determined that they were damaged, this is normally a chargeable item.  We apply the FEE in CSIU and the household Guardians will receive an automated email with the charge amount.  Cash or Check can be sent to the following...

On the WASD parent / student portal, there’s a FEES tab.  We will enter the fee on the student’s profile and an email notification will be sent to any household parent/guardians via CSIU registered email addresses.
