All Round Rock ISD students will keep their district-issued Chromebooks over the summer and will be responsible for the device to use next school year. We have provided some Chromebook care basics for students to follow during the summer.
Students who participate in our summer learning programs will need to bring their Chromebooks with them each day.
CHROMEBOOK CARE:
While you are relaxing and recharging, make sure your Chromebook stays safe and clean for the next school year.
✅ Best Practices for Your Chromebook:
Keep the Case On: Protective cases must remain installed at all times if your device came with one.
Maintain the Battery: Keep it charged over breaks. For long-term storage, charge it to 80% and shut it down using the power button (shutting the lid does not power it off).
Store Safely: Keep it in a cool, dry spot where it won't be stepped on or knocked over.
Carry with Care: Close the lid first, then carry it with two hands like a book.
Clean Gently: Use a soft microfiber cloth for the screen; avoid harsh chemicals.
Protect the Charger: Pull from the plug—never the cord—and keep it away from pets.
❌ Things to Avoid:
Avoid Extreme Heat: Never leave it in a car, in direct sun, or near windows.
No Food or Drinks: Keep snacks and liquids away to prevent permanent damage.
Don't Lift by the Screen: Always pick it up by the base to avoid breaking hinges or glass.
Clear the Keyboard: Never leave pens or pencils on the keys before closing the lid.
No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid window cleaners and paper towels, as they can scratch the screen.
Leave Tags Alone: Do not remove or deface school barcodes or asset tags.
Protect Your Password: Never share your login; you are responsible for all activity on your device.
Please remember that students and families are responsible for any damage to your Chromebook.

RESOURCES FOR PARENTS:
Our district is providing families with access to GoGuardian Parent. This mobile app gives parents/guardians insight and control over their students' online activity on school-managed devices and accounts.
GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide students with additional educational support and is a companion to the classroom engagement and internet filtering tools that our school uses.
The GoGuardian Parent app provides an overview of the apps, extensions, documents, and websites your student visited, as well as internet controls that you can set for out-of-school hours.
Student safety doesn't end when the final school bell rings. We strongly encourage you to download the GoGuardian Parent app, which allows families to be notified immediately by email if a safety alert is triggered during evenings, weekends, or while students are out for the summer. Please be sure to sign up via the app to receive these email notifications. The district does not monitor student usage during Summer Break.
More information can be found on our website: GoGuardian Chromebook Management for Parents.
