At School. A charging cord will be issued with the Chromebook. Each student is expected to bring a fully charged Chromebook to school every day and bring his/her Chromebook to all classes unless specifically advised not to do so by the teacher. School staff will monitor student usage when students are at school. In addition to teacher expectations for Chromebook use, students will be accessing curriculum information and content-appropriate online information in all classes. Any strategy used to circumvent security settings and filtering technologies including removing the device from the domain is a violation of this policy. External removable devices are prohibited, including USB drives and flash drives. At Home Unless otherwise advised by the school’s administration or the program the student is attending, all students are required to take their Chromebook home each night throughout the school year for charging. Chromebooks must be brought to school each day in a fully charged condition. If fully charged at home, the battery will last throughout the day. Repeatedly leaving the Chromebook at home may result in referral to administration and possible disciplinary action. Parents are responsible for monitoring their child’s use of the Chromebook when accessing programs from home. Some sites may be blocked even at home since they are filtered by our System. STPSB makes significant effort to filter objectionable content, but we recommend that parents and guardians remain diligent in observing student behavior when using these devices outside of school. Remember, the Chromebook is an educational tool and should still be considered and used for Educational Purposes only. Some applications can be used while not connected to the Internet. Students are bound by STPSB policies and all other guidelines in this document wherever they use their Chromebooks. Sound • While at school, sound must be muted at all times unless permission is obtained from the teacher for instructional purposes. • Headphones may be used at the discretion of the teacher. Video Teleconferencing • Your student may have the opportunity to participate in distance or remote learning via video and/or audio conferencing. As classrooms may operate virtually, observations will also occur virtually which may require recording by the teacher of the virtual or hybrid classroom.

At School. All devices should connect to the district network while on school property. This process should happen automatical- ly. If you are having difficulty getting online, please see the wireless troubleshooting steps below. At Home Only connect to trusted wireless networks. Many public spaces have several wireless networks viewable, some of these networks are unsafe. Do not connect to a network that you do not know or that you suspect to be unsafe. To connect to a wireless network: • Click on the Wi-Fi icon in lower right corner (the status bar). It may be between the battery and sound icons. • Select the Wi-Fi network name you would like to connect to. • If the Wi-Fi network is password protected, enter in that password when prompted. We understand that some families may not have Internet access at home. Teachers are encouraged to ensure all computer- based homework is able to be completed without Internet access. In addition, a map of local businesses/sites that have free public Wi-Fi access can be found on the District website. Troubleshooting: Many technical problems can be resolved easily by following the troubleshooting checklist. If your device is broken or dam- aged, you must report the damage to your building administrator or teacher immediately. Each secondary building has a dedi- cated technician. If your device is broken or the problem cannot be resolved by following the troubleshooting checklist, your building technician will be happy to assist you. Basic Troubleshooting Checklist: • If you cannot connect to a website or online resource: • Look at the message on your screen: Is it blocked by the content filter? Do you get a 404 page not found?, or Does it say you are not connected? • Be sure that your wireless is on and you are connected. • Try a different website like the District’s website: xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx. • Close your browser and then open it again (we recommend you use Chrome for most web browsing). • If the page loads, but you cannot see all of the content: • Check to see if it is blocked by the content filter. • Try a different browser, some sites load better in different browsers. • If the page still does not load: Restart your device. • If you do not have any sound: Check your volume to be sure that it is up and that mute is off. • If the device will not turn on: Be sure that it is charged. Plug it in for 10 minutes and try again. • If your device is having problems with opening software or is running slow: Restart your device. • Vi...
