CHROMEBOOK CARE
While you are relaxing and recharging, make sure your Chromebook stays safe and clean for the next school year.
✅ Best Practices for Your Chromebook:
Keep the Case On: Protective cases must stay installed at all times, if your device came with a case.
Maintain the Battery: Keep it charged over breaks. For long-term storage, charge to 80% and shut it down using the power button (shutting the lid does not power it off).
Store Safely: Keep it in a cool, dry spot where it won’t be stepped on or knocked over.
Carry with Care: Close the lid first, then carry it with two hands like a book.
Clean Gently: Use a soft microfiber cloth for the screen; avoid harsh chemicals.
Protect the Charger: Pull from the plug—never the cord—and keep it away from pets.
❌ Things to Avoid:
Avoid Extreme Heat: Never leave it in a car, in direct sun, or near windows.
No Food or Drinks: Keep snacks and liquids away to prevent permanent damage.
Don't Lift by the Screen: Always pick it up by the base to avoid breaking hinges or glass.
Clear the Keyboard: Never leave pens or pencils on the keys before closing the lid.
No Harsh Chemicals: Avoid window cleaners and paper towels; they scratch the screen.
Leave Tags Alone: Do not remove or deface school barcodes or asset tags.
Protect Your Password: Never share your login; you are responsible for all activity on your device.
You are responsible for damage to your Chromebook.

GoGuardian Parent was created to help provide students additional educational support and is a companion to the classroom engagement and internet filtering tools that our school uses. The GoGuardian Parent app provides an overview of the apps, extensions, documents, and websites your student visited, as well as internet controls that you can set for out-of-school hours.

Things got a little saucy at Cactus Ranch!

They piled on the noodles, poured on the sauce, and topped it all off with plenty of cheese!
Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach our goals and made our fundraiser such a success. We’re having WAY too much fun celebrating! 💚💙

Last week, we were so excited to welcome all of our new students to their Houses! It was so much fun seeing the excitement as everyone found out where they belonged. We can’t wait to see all the friendships, fun, and house pride this year!
We are so excited to share that a PIE Grant was awarded to purchase an amazing bundle of virtual field trips for 2nd Grade! This resource will give students the opportunity to explore more than 90 destinations and experiences right from their classrooms from visiting New York City and going on an African safari to exploring dinosaur digs and discovering fascinating places around the world.
These interactive experiences integrate reading, writing, science, geography, multimedia, and critical-thinking skills, making learning engaging, meaningful, and accessible for every student. Thanks to this grant, 2nd Grade students will soon be embarking on so many exciting new adventures without ever leaving the classroom!

The Cactus Ranch Library is excited to receive a PIE Grant! Mrs. Freeman will use this grant to add books that reflect the diverse families, cultures, and experiences within our school community.
These books will help ensure that every student has the opportunity to see themselves, their family, and their story represented on our library shelves.
Every story matters and YOUR story is worth celebrating!
