Technology Issues

  • If you have camera, sound, or any quality issue with your school issued Chromebook, try logging out of all applications and then turn off your computer. Give it a minute or two and turn it back on. 

  • Plug in your computer! Many students are having trouble because they are letting the battery completely run out.
