When your Chrome device is no longer working correctly and you have worked through troubleshooting items like clearing cache, signing out of your device, and performing a restart, performing a PowerWash may help.

A Powerwash will remove anything that is not the Chrome Operating System. NOTE: All information stored locally on the device will be erased. This will not affect information stored in the Google Cloud applications.

When beginning this process, you may see the option to select “Restart”. Please continue by selecting the “Restart” button and the next screen will prompt you to select “PowerWash”.

1. Press CTRL + ALT + Shift + r keys simultaneously

2. Select Powerwash

3. Confirm Powerwash - press Continue

4. Select Let’s Go at the welcome screen

5. Connect to your available network

6. Accept and Continue to Google terms of service

7. Select Done at the “Enterprise enrollment complete” window

8. Sign in to your Chromebook.

Election Day coming up Tuesday, Nov. 5

If you are a District 191 resident, renewal of the district’s technology levy will appear on your ballot Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The technology levy provides about $4.6 million per year to support classroom technology, learning devices (Chromebooks) and programs (Schoology and SeeSaw), technology safety and security systems and technology support staff.

Because it’s a renewal of an existing levy, there will be no tax increase if it’s approved.

You must be 18 years old on Election Day and a resident of District 191 to vote. Early voting can be done by mail or in person. Visit mnvotes.org to learn more about how to vote and to find your polling location.

To view a sample ballot and find other information on the technology levy, visit isd191.org/referendum.
