This page is designed to answer some of the frequently asked questions about chromebooks, internet access, and the programs our students will be using. We’ll continue to build it out to answer your questions.

Student Logins

• Call your school or get in touch with your teacher to get your child’s username/password or badge
  • For older students, the username is usually first initial + last name + 2 numbers (example: bsmith11). There’s a separate password.
  • For elementary students, they’ll have a badge they can use to log in.

Chromebooks

• If your student doesn’t have a functioning chromebook, call or contact your school. Or see the emails, below, for your school’s tech team.
• Your student will log into the chromebook using their login information or badge.

Internet Access

• Call your school.

Canvas for Students

• Once logged into Canvas, students can find the Canvas logo at the bottom of their screen. Watch this Walker video to learn more.

Canvas for Observers (Parents/Providers)

• Pairing codes: your student can create them. After login, click Account, then Settings. On the right of the screen, click “Pair with Observer” to see the six-digit code. Find a video and other Canvas instructions here.
• Visit this page for a FAQ for Canvas Observers
• The page is part of a class designed to teach observers about Canvas
