If you are graduating or moving, your PUSD account will be accessible through May 31st. After that, you will lose access, so please download or transfer all of your content before then. If you have a lot of files in your Drive, it can take up to a week to transfer. For detailed instructions, please check out the newsletter linked below.

Caregivers, is your information in Aeries up to date? If not, update your contact information with your school site to ensure you receive the latest information about end of school year events, enrollment, summer school, and more.

As a reminder, when there are issues at your site, the best way to get help quickly is through a Help Desk call (626-396-3699) or ticket (gopusd.com/helpdesk). Not following this process can result in a delay in resolving your issue.

Common Issues to contact the Help Desk for include:

• Application or Account issue with
• Aeries
• Canvas
• Clever
• Chromebook issue

Help Desk Summer Support

If students have any issues with their Chromebooks during the summer, service will be provided via the Help Desk rather than the school site. A ticket must be submitted for all issues that require attention from ITS.

Please remember to completely shut down your Chromebook at the end of every day! This will ensure your device has received all necessary updates and that you are able to connect to all PUSD applications without issue.

We are currently in the process of retrieving lost chromebooks. If your chromebook gets locked, please see your Librarian or Office Manager to get the device unlocked and/or submit a ticket with the device's service tag.

A reminder that Chromebooks are instructional materials, similar to textbooks. We have been receiving a large number of tickets from school sites and from students stating students have lost or damaged their devices. Chromebooks range in cost from $389 to $758. We understand that devices may be misplaced and that accidents happen, but please make every effort to take care of your devices as well as locate lost devices before submitting a ticket for device replacement.

Once a device has been reported lost or stolen, it will be locked and unusable.
