Getting Started with Your Chromebook

Please see the Getting Started with Your Chromebook (English, Spanish, More Languages Available) slides to learn about your LCPS Chromebook.

Replacement Chargers

If your student's LCPS charger is lost, see these directions on setting up a My School Bucks account to order a replacement. You can also choose to buy a replacement from any other website, but it must be a genuine Lenovo charger and not a third-party brand. If the Chromebook model is 300e Gen 4 MTK, it requires a 65W charger. If the Chromebook model is 300e Gen2 Intel, it requires a 45W charger. If you're unsure which device your student has, please call the Tech Support Center at 571.252.2112.

If your student's LCPS charger is damaged, please notify the student's teacher so the student can arrange for a repair or swap through the school's Digital Experience Specialist.
