I saw the USA Today article "8 things you shouldn't leave in your car in subzero weather." The first thing listed was cellphones. The article states that iPhones "shouldn't be operated at temperatures lower than 32 degrees." I would like to remind you to add Chromebooks to that list. (Also, don’t leave Chromebooks in your car in hot, summer weather either.)


Some other Chromebook care tips:
- The Chromebook should only be cleaned with a soft, clean cloth. Chemical cleaners or liquids, including water, should not be used on the Chromebook.
- Peripheral cables/cords should be inserted and removed from the Chromebook carefully to prevent damage. This should be done on both ends of the cable by grasping the plugs rather than the cord. The charging cord should be plugged into the wall outlet before connecting the Chromebook. When disconnecting, remove the cable from the Chromebook before pulling the cord from the wall outlet.
- Never put weight on the Chromebook, stack items on top of them or wedge them tightly into a backpack or case.

From East Central’s Chromebook Handbook and FAQ that can be found on the Chromebook page on the website.

Please model good habits for our students and encourage students to practice good Chromebook habits too.
