      • If either of these issues arises and the Chromebook must be swapped out, the student will not be held responsible.

    • If the device is lost, stolen, or damaged, It is the responsibility of the student to report any issues to Mr. Vinson immediately. If the device is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, the student will be financially responsible for the $50 replacement fee.

    • Each device is inspected and deemed in good condition (some devices may have minor housing flaws but are still considered in good condition per CMS).  

    • The CMS policies regarding the safe and acceptable use of technology are:
      • CMS Student Technology Agreement
      • Students must use the computer responsibly by only visiting school-appropriate websites.  
      • Please note filtering is applied on and off the CMS Network. 

    • Just as with CMS-issued textbooks, students are expected to treat computers with care, including: 
      • Never leave the computer in extreme temperatures. 
      • Never allow food or drink to be consumed near the computer. 
      • Never attempt to repair a computer without consulting authorized school personnel. 
      • Never download unauthorized software onto the computer. 

    • Repeated negligent care of a Chromebook could result in revoking a student's take-home privilege. 

    • Parents are responsible for immediately notifying their local police department if the computer is stolen off-campus so they can file a police report. The parent should then provide the report number to the school Technology Facilitator, Mr. Vinson. 

    • Students and parents understand that a user can only access the Chromebook using a CMS-issued Gmail account. 

    • The CMS-issued Chromebook and charging cable will be returned upon withdrawal from the CMS school system.  

    • Repeated violations of CMS-issued Chromebooks could result in loss of take-home privilege.  
      • This includes but is not limited to failure to bring the Chromebook to school, repeated destruction or repeated loss of the Chromebook, and inappropriate technology usage. 

    • All students are assigned a Chromebook.  While a Chromebook is assigned to the student, it is the responsibility of the student and parent(s) to handle the device with care and report any issues with the device immediately to a teacher or technology staff member at the school.

    • Fees associated with lost, stolen, or damaged devices can be found and paid online using the Online School Payment system.

    • A school staff member will collect the damaged device and re-assign a replacement device.  This timeline can vary by school, depending on inventory availability.  Students and parents are still expected to pay the technology fee.
