Using Your Device

Signing Into Your Chromebook

• Students can only login using their District issued account. Your student’s username begins with their last name, first three letters of their first name, and the first letter of their middle name, followed by @wssd.bz. (Example:  John Charles Smith = smithjohc@wssd.bz)

Connecting to Your Home WiFi

• In the bottom right of the screen, click on the time.
• Select Not Connected. (If you see your WiFi network name and a signal strength, your Chromebook has already connected to WiFi.)
• The WiFi toggle button will switch on.
• Your Chromebook will automatically look for available networks and show them to you in a list.
• Choose your family’s WiFi network and type a password if requested. If you don’t know your WiFi password, it’s sometimes printed on a label on the the device your Internet Service Provider gave to you.

How to Split Your Screen

• There are often times when teachers will ask their students to go to a website while in ZOOM sessions. This video walks you through how to split the screen view in half and easily view them simultaneously. 

Accessibility Features

• Student Chromebooks have built in accessibility features that may be useful for students of all abilities. This short video introduces students and families to some of these settings. Please click on this link to learn more about settings for students with specific needs.
