Chromebook Damage / Issues
If your student has taken their school issued Chromebook home during this school closure period, please treat the Chromebooks with extra care as damages may take a little longer to address than usual. Students (6-12) should still email helpdesk@rsu1.org with requests. Parents (K-5) should email us at techsupport@rsu1.org. Six of us monitor the helpdesk ticketing system regularly. We will be sure the right person is in touch with you soon. Thank you.
