BHS students have been given the option of using their Chromebook over the summer.   

Here is more information about this initiative, including a form to receive technical support during the summer. 

To encourage ongoing educational opportunities and alleviate distribution logistics, all BISD students will continue to have access to their Chromebooks by taking them home during the summer months. This opportunity was successfully piloted last summer by Eagle Harbor High School.

To assist you, the following are tips for summer Chromebook use:

Care

• Keep Chromebooks away from pets or young children.
• Avoid heat and direct sunlight.
• Avoid liquids – ­Beware of wet swimsuits and towels.
• Keep Chromebooks plugged into a surge protector when they are not in use.
• Please do not drain your Chromebook completely of power as it may be difficult to recharge and power up.

Repairs/Damages

If you are experiencing software or hardware issues with your Chromebook, please fill out this form and a technician will be in contact with you.

NOTE: While Chromebooks will be repaired as quickly as possible, replacements are not available over the summer.

Insurance 

If you chose to purchase insurance during the 2017-18 school year, your insurance policy covers the Chromebook through August.  We will provide you with another opportunity to purchase insurance for the 2018-19 school year. 

Leaving the District

If you leave the district during the summer, you may call the technology help desk at 206-780-1668 for further instructions. If the device (Chromebook, power cord, and bag) is not returned, you will be responsible for the full replacement cost of the device: $350.
