Chromebook Troubleshooting Tips...
As we enter our third year as a FutureForward school with 1:1 Chromebooks, we have found that many common Chromebook issues may be fixed through basic troubleshooting. To help teachers and students with these frequently encountered issues, we created a 1-page "quick guide" that was recently shared as a hard copy with staff members for posting in classrooms.
For Those Times You Don't Have Wifi...
This week, we experienced a brief wifi outage at school and people didn't know what to do! As perfect timing, the GUHSDtech team just happened to share a guide for using Chromebooks offline.

When Chromebooks Break...
Although the library does not provide "day loan" Chromebooks or chargers when students forget items, it is still the place to go when Chromebooks are broken (or lost/stolen) and cannot be fixed through basic troubleshooting. In these cases, students are checked out long-term loan or replacement items.
If you get the chance, please remind students that the deadline for purchasing Chromebook insurance is quickly approaching - September 30th is the last day to purchase insurance online.
Need some laughs? Please join us for a great night of comedy sponsored by our own WHHS Foundation!
All proceeds benefit WHHS!
