REMINDER: Chromebook Deactivation
The Dell Chromebook 3120's have reached their end of life. In the process of doing the computer inventory, we discovered that there are quite a few of these still in circulation. We have deactivated these devices as of 9/2/2022. If your older Chromebook is showing a locked screen, your device has been deactivated.
If you or any of your students are still using a 3120, please turn it in immediately. If you need a replacement Chromebook, please put in a ticket.

- Type in your current password and then your new password twice, making sure the new password is not one you've used before.
- At this time, you will also want to check your Challenge Questions to be sure they're up to date.

DEVICE CHECKOUT
If you are a new teacher in need of a device, please submit a Help Desk ticket (gopusd.com/helpdesk) so we can verify device eligibility and to make an appointment. All requests must be made from your PUSD account through the ticket system.
QR CODES
QR codes have been updated for TK-2nd grade students, as well as 3rd-12th grade students in Special Education. QR Codes can be found in the PUSD Curriculum Shared Drive in the Elementary folder (TK-5) or in the Special Education folder (6-12). We are working to return access to TK-2 teachers in ARMS so they can print out their own QR codes and thank you for your patience.
