Chromebook Chargers: We only have enough Chargers for each student and regret to say we have no extras. If a student loses their charger they will need to purchase one online from Amazon .
The chromebook insurance that is offered on the Parent Contract covers one replacement charger. Chargers purchased through the school are $35; the one the district recommends on Amazon is less than that. The insurance is $25 and covers loss and theft as well.
