School Issued Chromebooks
Elementary and Middle School students must use a school issued device. They may use an alternate device if arranged with the teacher and as a temporary solution. Students using non school issued devices are not able to access items only available on the school device, making learning difficult and can create a security risk. Starting Monday September 16, 2024 teachers will not admit a student into class without a school device, unless arranged ahead of time with the teacher.
How (and why) to PowerWash your Chromebook
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”.
Press CTRL + ALT + Shift + r keys simultaneously
Select Powerwash
Confirm Powerwash - press Continue
Select Let’s Go at the welcome screen
