Caring for your Chromebook 

The following contains a checklist titled “Caring for your Chromebook” to guide you on maintaining your device over the summer.  As you embark on your summer learning adventure, it's crucial to maintain your Chromebook's health and safety.

  • Avoid exposing it to heat, direct sunlight, and water
  • Always plug it into a surge protector when not in use.
  • Families should continue to supervise home use as during the school year,
  • and remember that Gaggle monitoring will persist over the summer.
  • If your Chromebook requires repair, contact the receptionist at the BOE office at 203-762-3381 to coordinate an exchange of the device during the summer.  Please do not attempt any repairs yourself. If your device is lost or damaged beyond repair, consult our replacement costs information on our website.
