BHS Chromebook Collection: Grades 8 & 9

May 2021

Dear Families of Students in Grades 8 and 9,

During the last week of the 2020-2021 school year, your child's attendance period teacher (Period 2) will collect the Chromebook and power cord assigned to your child for this school year. Devices from remote students will be collected on Thursday, June 10th from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and from 5 p.m.-7 p.m. in the South Parking lot.

Prior to returning your Chromebook, we ask that you complete the following items:

  • Make sure that your Chromebook has at least a 10% charge as we need to check the functionality of your Chromebook during the return process.
  • Make sure that all personal stickers, decals, etc. are removed from your Chromebook. We recommend using an eyeglass cleaning solution. Do not remove the asset ID sticker and do not use harsh chemical cleaners to attempt to remove the stickers.
  • Make sure that you have your AC adapter and cord ready to return.
  • If you know that your Chromebook is damaged, please refer to the included list of parts and prices if the damage is obvious (i.e. cracked screen, broken keyboard). Please arrive with a check made payable to Baldwin-Whitehall School District for the amount of damages or exact cash-change in an envelope clearly marked with your first name, last name, and the Asset ID sticker number on your device.
  • Should your device require repairs that are not disclosed or paid for at the time of collection, you will receive notice before the end of July. Payment will be required prior to August 1, 2021.

During the month of August, we will host new device distribution days and your child will be issued a new Chromebook that will be used for the remainder of their time at Baldwin High School.

Should you have any questions regarding this process, please contact the BHS Technology Department by calling 412-885-7500 ext. 8194 or ext. 8190.

On behalf of the District's Technology Services Department, we wish you a happy and healthy summer break!
