Chromebooks

Chromebooks

The Leon County School System is a 1:1 district. We have a Chromebook for every student.

  • The Chromebook is the property of the Leon County School System.
  • Do not personalize it with stickers, labels, markers, etc.
  • The display lid is more fragile than you think. Take care not to bang it against something, or allow something heavy to sit on it, or grab it too tight with your fingers.
  • Restart the Chromebook once a week for optimal performance.
  • Keep it Updated. Click the clock, then the gear, then About Chrome OS, and then Check for Updates.
  • LCS Chromebook Care Handout


Common Issues & Fixes

  • On, but No Display? Try a Power Refresh by pressing the “refresh” key and “power” keys at the same time for a few seconds.
  • Got a bad PIN/Password error on sign-in? Try removing your account and signing in again.
  • Getting a 422 error page when trying to log into Classlink? Delete the saved password.
  • Getting a 500 error page when trying to access a website? Try clearing the cache.
  • Make sure the Chromebook is set to accept all cookies. Changing that setting can affect whether a web page loads properly.
  • Chromebook just acting weird? Try a PowerWash by signing out and then pressing the CTRL-ALT-SHFT-R keys at the same time. Then follow the prompts.
  • Account Blocked? Notify the school tech support.


Chromebook Points of Emphasis

  • Students will be charged for returning a Chromebook without a case.
  • Students will be charged for "defacing" the Chromebook.
  • Report all issues, damage or loss immediately to the school tech support.

Fees are assessed per district policy.
