A few simple habits can help keep your Chromebook ready for class and your school account secure.

• Charge it each night. Start the school day with your Chromebook fully charged.
• Handle it with care. Close the lid before carrying it, keep food and drinks away, and never leave items on the keyboard when closing the screen.
• Protect your password. Keep your password private and sign out when using a shared device.
• Think before you click. Be cautious with unexpected links, attachments, or messages asking for your password. If something seems suspicious, check with school IT.
• Keep your files organized. Give assignments clear names and organize them in Google Drive so they are easy to find.
• Report problems early. If your Chromebook is not working properly, let school IT know before the issue interferes with classwork. Include what happened and any error message you saw.

Taking a few minutes to care for your device can prevent problems and help you stay focused on learning.
