Chromebooks
I am missing 2 chromebooks! Can you please help me find them?!
Which numbers? #5 and another one. Several of mine were renumbered because two were damaged this year so I am not sure which number it originally was. But we the current missing numbers are #5 and #27
Use only your assigned chromebook number! I am giving you ALL new numbers today. WRITE IT IN YOUR NOTEBOOK!
If yours is missing when you got to get it at the start of class - inform me immediately! DO NOT GRAB A DIFFERENT NUMBER!
Put it in the correct slot and PLUG IT IN every day!
