Lake County Schools Chromebook Collection flyer. The header reads “Chromebook Collection” with the tagline “Wrap Up the Year—Turn In Your Gear!” Three Chromebooks are shown: one with a sparkle-cleaning icon labeled "Charged Up," one showing battery icons labeled "Charged to 100%," and one closed and labeled "Ready to Go." At the bottom are icons and reminders: “Make sure you have your charger,” “Charged to 100%,” “Clean of Stickers,” and “Return Now if your device is broken or in need of repair.”

As we approach the end of the school year, it’s time to start preparing for Chromebook collection. In just a few weeks, all student-issued Chromebooks will need to be returned, cleaned, and checked in for the summer. We’re asking for your help to make this process smooth and efficient.

Here are a few important reminders to help you get ready:

✅ What to Do Before Turning in Your Chromebook

  • Remove all stickers, tape, and decorations: Please make sure your Chromebook is clean and free of all personal decorations before collection day. This includes any residue left behind—sticky surfaces slow down our check-in process and can cause long-term damage

  • .

    Safe Cleaning Tip: Use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface of the Chromebook. Avoid any harsh chemicals or spraying liquid directly onto the device.

  • Turn in your charger—both parts: Don’t forget to bring the entire charger set, including the charging brick and cord. Missing parts will result in a fine.

  • Charge your Chromebook to 100%: A fully charged device helps us inspect and process Chromebooks faster. Please plug it in the night before collection.

  • Turn in damaged or malfunctioning Chromebooks now: If your device isn’t working quite right—or has any visible damage—don’t wait until collection day! Bring it to your media specialist now so it can be repaired or replaced in time.
