Chromebook info

First and foremost you checking out a Chromebook from the school is fabulous. It will make it so much easier than using a different one in each classroom and possibly NOT having one at home when or if you need one. So appreciate it and take care of it! Yes, you CAN use a different device such as your own computer or phone. Just be sure you are logged in to Chrome and Drive with your @granitesd.org account.

Printing

Chromebooks are managed and designed to NOT print. Instead you should share docs with your teachers or turn in via Canvas. If you need to print you may do so from a regular PC.

Other issues

Check for updates.

Click the 3 dots by your name. (etc,/more button)
Click on "Help"
Click on "About Google Chrome"
READ the instructions on how to update it!

It should say what version of Chrome you are using and if there is an update. Different devices can only run certain versions of the software so I cannot tell you the latest version as it updates quite often.

Below is copy of the form students are filling out while in the library. We will keep a copy of it on file.

You can also log in to Destiny to see what your checkout status is. Here are the instructions
