Our students that have been issued Chromebooks need them for for a variety of educational purposes each day they are in school. Please help your child establish a daily routine at home to charge their HPS Chromebook every day and bring it to school. If your child is experiencing an issue with their device or charger, please have them bring them to our library media specialist, Ms. Sendroff for troubleshooting or replacement.
