Having trouble getting your Chromebook to turn on?

It may be in a deep sleep or not getting power.

To ensure it is receiving power, check the 2 parts of the cord to ensure they are snugly attached. Try using a different outlet. The one you've been using may be faulty. Ensure there is an orange charging light lit on the side of the device when you plug it in to charge. Try using the input on the opposite side of the device.

Here are some troubleshooting steps to go through that should fix the issue. Take each step in order. The first step may be the only one you need to solve your issue.

1- Turn the device completely off by holding down the power button for 60 seconds. (No slow flashing light on the side.) Wait at least 1 minute and turn it on again. If the issue persists, continue to the next step.

2- Perform a "Hard Shut Down"

Hold down the Reload+Power buttons until the screen goes black.  (No slow flashing light on the side.) Then you can let go of the Power button. Plug the power cord back in and ensure that you see the device charging light is on. (You may need to try using the power inlet on the opposite side of the device.)

Your Chromebook should start now.

Having audio issues with your Chromebook?

Having audio issues with your Chromebook?

# data[].attributes.body
Is your teacher telling you that your microphone is too loud and you need to adjust the volume down. Static sounding? Are you noticing the class pull off their headphones when you speak during class? Here is how you fix that issue.

Troubleshooting for this issue:

1: Are you using headphones or earbuds with an in-line microphone? This often solves the issue right away.

2: In the lower right where the time and battery icon is, click there. In the pop up window you will see the audio adjustment bar (2nd from bottom) and a ">" on the right side of it. Click on the ">". This opens a new pop up window with your microphone audio adjustment bar. This should be set at about the middle of the bar. Have her adjust this while in an online meeting to get feedback from her teacher as to where the optimal setting is.

3: Check to ensure that the Chromebook has been updated. To do this first check in the main pop up window by clicking on the lower right where the time and battery icon is. Above the black popup window there may be smaller white boxes. If one says there is an update, click on it and run the update. If there are no white boxes click on the gear icon at the upper right of the black pop up window. This opens the Settings window. On the left side of this window select "About Chrome OS" at the bottom of the list. Select the box that says "Check for updates" to the right of the Google Chrome version listed at the top. (You may need to run this check several times if the device has not been updated regularly. This also takes a while to complete so perform this step after school hours.)

Here's how it works:
There's lots of columns so you'll need to scroll to the right to see them all. Each column has multiple posts, just place your cursor over the column that you'd like to see more posts and scroll down.

On a MacBook or Laptop w/ a trackpad, you can scroll in any direction by using 2 fingers on the trackpad. If that doesn't work contact us, we can help re-set that feature.

If you're using a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can hold Shift while using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll left and right instead of up and down.

Google Classroom Guardian Email Summaries FAQ

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This article is for guardians and teachers.

When a guardian accepts an invitation from a teacher, they get regular emails about their student's work and classes. These emails, known as guardian email summaries, include information about missing work, upcoming work, and class activity. Your student's teacher or the school administrator sends you the email invitation. After you accept the invitation, you get regular email summaries of your student's work.

Note: You can only receive summaries for students using Classroom with a G Suite account. For details, see About Classroom user accounts.

Here are some frequently asked questions by guardians and educators.

Guardian FAQ

I want guardian summaries sent to a different email address. Can I change the address?

Yes. To get guardian emails at a different email address:

1. Contact the student's teacher or school and ask them to delete your current address and re-invite you at the new address.

2. In your web browser, open an Incognito window.

3. Sign in to the email account of the new address.

4. Confirm you're signed out of other email accounts.

5. In your email account, open the invitation and click Accept.

How do I manage my guardian email settings?

Note: To manage email summary settings, you need a free Google Account. You don't need a Gmail address to create a Google Account. To create one with your current email address, see Create your Google Account.

If you have a Google Account

Go to https://classroom.google.com/gs, where you can see the students connected to your account and manage 2 settings:

The frequency of your emails

Your time zone

If you don't have a Google Account

You only get weekly emails and can't change any settings.

How do I get email summaries of my student's work?

Your student's teacher or the school administrator sends you an email invitation. After you accept the invitation, you receive regular email summaries of your student's work. Learn more about Classroom guardian email summaries.

I've accepted the invitation. Where will the emails be sent?

If you have a Google Account

Sign in to the Classroom email settings page to check the email address where summaries are sent.

If you don't have a Google Account

Guardian email summaries are sent to the email address you signed up with. This is the same email address where the invitation was sent.

Do I need a Gmail address or a Google Account?

No. To get an invitation, you can use your current address. When you click Accept, you receive weekly summaries to that email address.

However, with a free Google Account, you can adjust email summaries. For example, you can change their frequency. See How do I manage my guardian email settings?

Can I sign in to my child's classroom?

No. Guardians can't access Classroom or their child's assignments due to privacy laws. Guardians can only get email summaries, if your child's teacher allows it.

Why haven't I received an email invitation?

You won't get an email invitation if:

Your student's school hasn't set up guardian email summaries.

Your student's teachers aren't participating in guardian email summaries.

You aren't the guardian of the student.

If you haven't gotten the invitation, check your spam folder. Otherwise, contact your student's school and ask them to send another.

Educator FAQ

Can I add guardians with a class code?

No. Guardians can't be invited with a class code. To invite guardians, a teacher or administrator needs to send guardians an email invitation. For instructions, see Set up guardian email summaries.

Can guardians view my class stream or student work?

No. When you invite parents, they can't get into Classroom. Instead, guardians get an email summary of their student's work, which contains information about missing work, upcoming work, and class activity. Learn more about guardian email summaries.

Does the same guardian have to be invited in every class?

No. Once a guardian is invited and accepts for one class, the guardian is linked to their student in all classes. The guardian gets email summaries for all classes that teachers have turned on the service.

Why don't I see the option to invite guardians?

You may not see the option for any of the following reasons:

You aren't a verified teacher. To view and invite guardians, an administrator must verify you as a teacher in your domain. Learn more about setting teacher permissions.

You don't have permission to invite guardians. Your administrator may have chosen to allow only administrators to invite and remove guardians. Learn more about managing guardian email summaries.

Your school administrator turned off guardian email summaries.

You're using the Classroom mobile app. You can only invite guardians on a web browser. Learn more about inviting guardians.

Can our school or district add guardians in bulk?

What if I don't want my class to be included in guardian email summaries?

By default, guardian email summaries are turned off for your class. If you turn on summaries, then decide you no longer want to include your class in guardian email summaries, you can turn off this feature. For instructions, see turning guardian email summaries on and off.
