We have a few announcements:

2. MClass for K-3 there have been a few having trouble syncing so here are a few things to help remedy this for teachers:

  • Have your teachers periodically sync after a few students sync (they can do it at a bathroom break or before lunch or recess) so that it isn't sending a full days data all at once.
  • You can check to make sure your school doesn't have any additional OLD access points floating around this will conflict with your ceiling mounted JCS_WIRELESS network and may cause issues, if you find any old access points remove them from the network by unplugging them both from the wall and network.
3. Chromebooks Warranties - there are currently 2 models of Chromebooks the first model is the Series 5 (they are black) and the 303 (they are silver) both are produced by Samsung.  However the warranty claims for the two models are different. 
  • With the Series 5 - you will have a Google Support account created by Shirley Nixon with your first case, you will enter the case into the system and they will assist you with the replacement units.
  • With the 303 Model - you will place a call directly to Samsung, We have placed a document in the Tech Leader Folder with how to complete a Warranty Call click to see the document.
