MAJOR NON-NEGOTIALES STUDENT'S LAPTOP EXPECTATIONS

SAVING YOUR FILES
It is important students save their files to a cloud system to ensure all files are backed up securely. During certain repairs, Chromebooks may have to be powerwashed, and Chromebooks are powerwashed each summer. Students can save files to a flash drive, upload them to One Drive or Google drive. EIHS recommends that ALL students use the HISD OneDrive for saving and backing up documents. For instructions on how to save to the OneDrive. Click here

 

Chromebook Deployment

2025-2026 Deployment

Chromebooks for all students (grades 9-12) will be issued during the first week of school through a student's cohort (for 9th, 10th and 11th) and through PBL Skills for seniors. 

REQUIRED LAPTOP FORMS
A Chromebook will be LOANED to all Energy students for the 2025-2026 school year. To receive a Chromebook, students must have returned their Chromebook from the prior year (including summer dual credit students) and must complete the HISD Agreement and Energy Laptop Loan Agreement.

This document will be passed out to students the first day of school.

The Energy loan agreement should be printed, completed, and signed by the student and parent prior to Chromebook deployment. Completed forms will be brought to school by the student to turn in during Chromebook deployment.

Students and parents may be held responsible for the cost of replacement of a lost or stolen device or accessories or for damage due to purposeful action or gross negligence.
