Device and Hardware Support

Do you need a Chromebook? Per public school policy, we are able to assist families for whom the purchase of this educational tool may pose a hardship. Students needing a district-issued Chromebook should complete this form.

Tech staff will contact you to set-up a pick-up time. Please fill out the Student Equipment Checkout, print out the completed document and bring it with you. A Chromebook and charger will be provided to you at the time of pick-up.

Do you have internet connectivity issues? The topography of our area and inconsistency in service providers is causing network issues for some households. The district is continuing to research ways to support these needs and we are continuing to gather information on how to best proceed.

While we cannot necessarily troubleshoot home networks, here is some additional information that may help:

Tech Best Practices

  • Never allow a browser to save or store your password to email, Aeries, etc.

  • Do a practice run before presenting electronic material in class

  • Check if our content filter allows your site before presenting it in class

  • Save and backup your documents often

  • Log out of your email, Aeries, Naviance, and other accounts when finished

  • Do not back up your devices to your district Google account. We can see all of your DIstrict files

Read the LGSUHSD STUDENT ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT for more information.
 

Graduating Students

Use Google Take-out when you graduate from our district to transfer your data to a personal account.

District tech staff sends an email out every April with a timeline and instructions on how to save Google Drive contents. Accounts will remain active through June 30 of the year you graduate. After that date, accounts, including email and drive will be disabled. Accounts will not be completely deleted for one year. Desperate students can contact techsupport@lgsuhsd.org to retrieve any information they need after June 30.

Direct link to download your Google account data

Students attempting to use Google Takeout Transfer may get the message "Transfer Your Content is only available to authorized G Suite for Education Accounts. Please contact your administrator, or sign in with another Google Account".

This happens when the student is logged into their personal Gmail account and then opens a new tab and logs into their student account in the same Chrome web browser instance.

To start a transfer in Google Takeout, the student must be logged into Google Accounts in separate Chrome instances or login to your personal Gmail account using Google Chrome and then use a different web browser like Mozilla Firefox to login to your school account. Using two different web browsers keeps logins in separate instances because they are in a different application.
