CHROMEBOOK RETURN EXPECTATIONS & PROCEDURES

ATTENTION 7-12 FAMILIES: End-of-Year Chromebook Return Expectations & Procedures

All Middle and High School students are responsible for returning their Chromebooks and all other library materials and textbooks before they leave MacDowell for the summer. We expect students and families to clear their Destiny account with MacDowell each spring, as items and associated fines follow students to other MPS schools. Invoices will be sent home over the summer for unpaid fines. All fines must be paid to graduate. 

Middle and High School students receive an automated email at 8:00 AM on Thursday morning that details their current checkouts of books and Chromebooks. An email receipt from Destiny is sent once they have returned their Chromebook. 

  • High school students return their Chromebooks after their last exam at the Return Station available on the 1st floor near the main office during exam transition times. It is important that each student get their device scanned by a human and ask for a digital receipt to confirm return. Exempt students can return before the exam days in the Library with Ms. Raasch.
  • Middle school students will turn their devices in on Wednesday-Thursday, June 11-12, during their Advisory Block from 1:00-2:00 PM at a Return Station in the Middle School Hallway. 
  • NOTE: Students KEEP their chargers and cases to bring back in the fall for Chromebook distribution. When a case and/or charger are not present at distribution, students are charged $10 for a charger and $20 for a case.
