    When issued a textbook, it should be thoroughly inspected and any problems reported to the media specialist within one week of issue. Make sure textbooks are returned in good condition by keeping them away from pets, young children, moisture and food. Do NOT store your books in your car trunk as it will warp them over time. If you choose to leave your textbook in a teacher’s classroom it is still your responsibility to ensure it is not lost or damaged.

     

    Once you receive your school laptop, you need to make sure not to remove the case as this could void the warranty and you will be responsible for the full cost of the laptop instead of the $75.00 repair fee. The labels on both your laptop and charger should not be removed or there will be a $10.00 label replacement fee charged to your account. Also, do not eat or drink around your laptop, put any additional stickers on the case or laptop, or draw on or vandalize the keyboard area. To ensure your charger stays in good condition, do not wrap the cord around the brick but use the Velcro to gently secure the cords. Never leave your charger plugged into your laptop while it is in your bookbag as this can damage the port and cause your laptop not to charge. Your school issued laptop needs to be returned at the end of each school year to ensure needed updates are loaded during the summer.
