Chromebooks
It is always essential during school breaks to leave your Chromebook charging at all times when not in use. Please charge your Chromebook nightly to ensure the battery life maintains its maximum performance. Battery life is extended when the Chromebook is consistently charged, and for no less than 30 minutes at a time. Leaving the Chromebook plugged in for 6 hours allows the battery to recalibrate and take a full charge.

Teachers and VVS librarians will be able to help you with many of your questions and enter a Qware ticket if needed. If a Qware ticket has been entered, the device then needs to be turned into the main office.
If the device is broken and needs repair Bring the device to Mrs. Bauer in the Main Office between 8:00 am – 3:00 pm M-F.
Damaged Chromebooks and/or chargers must be returned to the Main Office. Damages will be assessed by the Principal, a bill will be issued if warranted.
Replacement chargers may be purchased through the Main Office. **Replacement is still VVS property**
VVS issued Chromebooks & chargers are the responsibility of the student that it is issued to. DO NOT loan either one to another student.
Students will keep their assigned Chromebook until they are no longer a student at VVS. There will be periodic "check-ins" for maintenance.
If you are leaving the district, the Chromebook & charger must be returned to the main office.
DO NOT peel any stickers off school-issued Chromebooks, they cost money!
