Beginning July 30th, 2024, The new 1:1 fee structure for lost\damage devices has been approved and published.  GCPS Fine Amounts for lost or beyond-economical-repair Chromebooks are changing. Your student is responsible for his/her Chromebook and power adapter. 

Fine Amounts

Students must follow the acceptable use policy, use the devices only for school purposes, and that parents should monitor student devices and internet usage. Payments for device fees can be made on Mypaymentsplus.com

Let's work together to keep your student’s Chromebook in great condition all year! Here are some helpful tips to remind your child of regarding their Chromebook and charger:

• Your student is responsible for his/her Chromebook at all times. They shouldn’t loan the Chromebook or charger to another student. If the other student looses the equipment, your student will be fined for the loss.
• Don’t eat or drink while using the computer. Water spills can damage the computer beyond repair. Food can cause keys to be sticky and stop working.
• Decorative stickers and drawings aren’t allowed on computers. 
• Keep the computers in the protective bag that was issued with the computer. Screens often get broken when Chromebooks are left in backpacks because of the weight of other items in the backpack.
• If your student notices problems with their computer, please let their teacher know right away so that we can have the device repaired before more damage occurs.

Thank you!
