Chromebook Help

CHROMEBOOK ISSUES?

If you're experiencing issues with a Chromebook there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot before a tech ticket is written for repair.

Do a quick log out. Hold Ctrl + Shift and Q+Q. This will completely log your student out.

Log back in and follow these steps to update Chrome.

Check to make sure that your student has only school related tabs open. The fewer tabs open the less bandwidth is required.

Finally, you may do a reimage/reset on the Chromebook. Here are the step by step directions.
