If your Chromebook has been taken, you are NOT allowed to check out a Chromebook to work on ALEKS or to complete any work in study hall.

Examples of inappropriate Chromebook usage include:

What happens if I get my Chromebook taken away?

Ms. Caligiuri will keep your Chromebook for the appropriate amount of time. You will know when you get your Chromebook privileges back by looking at the calendar on this board. Your name will be written on your return date, along with the shelf number that it is in. On the Chromebook return date, you must complete a check-in form and conference with Ms. Caligiuri. This must happen before school, after school, or during study hall.
