Students in grades 1-12 participate in a 1:1 Chromebook program. This initiative empowers students with a learning tool that opens doors to a world of educational resources and fosters digital literacy. This page can be used as a "one-stop shopping" of resources designed to maximize a Chromebook's potential.
If you can't troubleshoot an issue on your own or your device is broken, please stop by the appropriate tech resource location depending on school attending.

Check your keyboard language
You can switch between keyboard languages by clicking the keyboard icon on the shelf, select the keyboard language you want to switch to.
Try rebooting the Chromebook and if still running slow, clear the cookies and cache.
Best practice is to physically shut down your Chromebook after school on Friday to improve performance of the device (can immediately turn back on).
Try restarting the Chromebook and sound should re-activate. If the reboot does not solve the problem stop by the tech office.
