Media Updates - Week of January 18

Need Tech Help?

Student Chromebook

• If acting "quirky" (not loading Chrome, freezing frequently, logging out randomly, etc.), have student wipe/reset the device. Instructions here - Chromebook Wipe
• If screen is broken or wipe/reset does not work, have student submit a WCPSS student heat ticket

Staff  - Device or software performance, connectivity, etc.

• Submit a help desk ticket (icon found on Rapid Identity.)

Student and staff heat tickets come to me. If I can help, I will reach out ASAP. Otherwise I will push the ticket on to WCPSS tech services.
