CHROMEBOOK PROBLEMS???
Moving forward, students with issues or problems with their Bowie-issued Chromebook should sign-up for a FIT session with Ms. Theis. Plans are being kicked around to establish a student-staffed technology help station, too -- more information to come. Ms. Theis has extra power cords and other ancillary items available for purchase during her FIT sessions for students who lose those items. If students misplace their Chromebook or believe it to be stolen, please encourage them to contact Ms. Theis immediately as there are ways to track the Chromebooks and/or replace stolen Chromebooks if the proper procedures are followed.
