Chromebook Care

Parents, Please encourage your child to be responsible with the Chromebook. We are having students needing a repair to their Chromebook which can result in an expensive fee.


Stuff You Are Expected To Do


  • It is your responsibility to bring your device to school every day....CHARGED! So before you go to bed at night, be sure to put your Chromebook on a hard, flat surface and plug it in! And don't forget to bring it to school!
  • You will have to abide by the Student Code of Conduct and the Burleson ISD Acceptable Use Policy. These rules are in place to keep you safe, protect our equipment, and to make sure you can enjoy using your device.
  • You will need to follow the rules provided by your teacher when it comes to your device. Every teacher will go over their classroom expectations and their rules for device use in their classroom. If you ever get confused...don't hesitate to ask!
  • Treat your device with respect and take good care of it!
  • Have a good time using your device to learn!


Things You Really Shouldn't Do

  • Never give your username and password to anyone else...and students shouldn't loan out their devices to others.
  • Try to always use your device on a hard, flat surface. Laying your device down on a soft surface (your bed, a blanket or pillow, or a couch) can cause the device to overheat and break!
  • Don't eat or drink near your device! You'll be responsible for the damage if an accident happens...and we wouldn't want that!
  • Don't try to go around the Burleson ISD filters, it's not allowed and you can lose your device if you do.
  • Don't lay anything on the keyboard - you may forget it's there and shut the lid...this could crack the screen.
  • Watch out for your cord! Don't lose it, run over it, let the dog chew on it...you're going to need that power!
  • Be careful how you carry your device. Two hands is always the best way! If it's in your backpack, make sure you don't throw your backpack around or sit on it! Crunch!!!!
