Elementary Chromebook Reconciliation
In the upcoming weeks a physical inventory of Elementary Chromebooks will take place. EdTech will be reaching out to your school site Destiny contact with more information. All staff must turn in any 3100/3110 student Chromebooks they are using, as any of these devices not checked out to a student will be deactivated. This does not include the older 3189 Chromebooks.
Help Desk
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, etc.
- Computer or Device issue
- Device Checkout
- Network/Internet issues on site
