Using Google Chromebooks

CISD Chromebook and Google Accounts

The Google Chromebook is an extremely powerful teaching tool. It allows students and administrators alike to create, store, and share documents from anywhere in the world instantaneously. As it stands, every student and staff member has had a google account created on their behalf. Below is a basic operation procedure for effectively using a Google Chromebook.

For the safety and security of the district and staff, the Cleveland I.S.D. Chromebooks will only work with a valid district issued user account and WiFi access.

Signing in to your Chromebook

STEP 1:

After the device is powered on you will be prompted for a user name.
The username will be their assigned identification number followed by “@student.clevelandisd.org”.

Example: Student ID number is 12345 will sign in as: 12345@student.clevelandisd.org

STEP 2:

Once you put in the user name the next prompt is for your password.
If you have never logged into your account before, your homeroom teacher can provide you with the default password, and will require you to change your password upon first login.

If you forget your password, please submit a work order requesting a password reset.
