New Student Guide

All middle and high school students in GMSD are issued a chromebook. As a new middle or high school student, 

there are a few steps that need to be completed in order to get your device.

1)  If you have not already, go to the GMSD Enrollment Page and complete the online student registration. This must be completed before a device is issued.

2)  During registration, you are asked to review the Blended Learning Procedure Manual and the Device Orientation video. Please be sure you have reviewed both before going further.

3) During your enrollment meeting with school office staff, you will be given a letter indicating the dates you may pick up your school Chromebook. Be sure you receive a  charger with your device. If you ever have any problems with your device, you may bring it to the tech office or send an email to helpdesk@gmsdk12.org. Never let anyone else attempt to repair your device.
