Device Cleaning

CPS recommends keeping cleaning products to a minimum when caring for your device. Never spray directly onto or into any part of the laptop (spray onto a cloth or Q-tip first), and never scrape/scratch stickers or their residue (no razor blades).

Device Care & Maintenance

Students are expected to follow all the guidelines listed in this document and take any additional common-sense precautions to protect their assigned device.

General Care

• Shut down and restart this device at least once a week.
• Charge your device before school so you are prepared for class.
• Treat this device with as much care as you would your own property.
• Do not attempt to remove or change the physical structure of the device, including the keys, screen cover or plastic casing.
• Do not remove or interfere with the serial number, asset tag, or any identification placed on the device.
• Do not do anything to the device that will permanently alter it in any way.
• Close the lid of the device when it is not in use to save battery and protect the screen.
• Never walk from one location to another with an open computer. This is applicable at school and at home.
• Keep the Device in a Safe Place. The device should never be left unattended.
• The device should not be left on the floor where it might be stepped on, or within reach of small children or pets.
• Avoid storing the device in a car other than in a locked trunk.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures (32°F to 77°F) for prolonged periods.

Devices left unattended may be confiscated by faculty or staff as a protection against theft. Unattended and unlocked equipment, if stolen, including at school, will be the student’s responsibility.
