You have most likely worn out your battery or the battery has become unseated. Please take your chromebook to Ms.Banister and she will do her best to let you know what is happening with the battery. 

Here are some helpful tips for taking care of your Chromebook so that it will always be ready to use. 

• Tip 1: Keep your Chromebook on a flat surface like a table or a desk. Don't leave it on the floor where someone could step on it. 
• Tip 2: Don't pile things on top of your Chromebook. Chromebooks aren't meant to hold weight, any extra pressure can break the screen.
• Tip 3:Make sure there isn't anything on the keyboard when you close your Chromebook. Even something as small as a pencil or an eraser can break the screen if it's in the way. 
• Tip 4: Keep food and drinks away from your Chromebook and make sure your hands are clean. Crumbs and liquids are very bad for your Chromebook and can cause it to stop working properly. 
• Tip 5:Always make sure your Chromebook is closed when you carry it. Always use two hands and never carry your Chromebook by the screen!! Don't worry about closing your Chromebook in the middle of doing something, your Chromebook will start right back up when you are ready to use it again right where you left off. 
• Tip 6: Plug in your Chromebook when you are not using it. That way, it will be charged for when you need it. 
• Tip 7: If your Chromebook does break, make sure to tell your teacher and take it to Ms.Banister. Don't try to fix it yourself. Let the Technology Department handle it. 
• Tip 8: Remember to take care of yourself online. Be sure to stay on approved websites, keep your password private, and log off when you're done. Remember, anything that happens under your account is your responsibility. 

Taking good care of your Chromebook will ensure that you will always have a working device that is ready whenever you are.

You can turn in your $40 security deposit to the high school office. You will be given a receipt at the time of payment. If you have financial hardship, please contact Mr.Hoover.
