Changes to Google Settings
Due to recent changes that Google made to their settings related to students who are under 18, students will no longer be able to sign in to apps that aren't on our Approved Apps list with the Google Single Sign On option.
For an app to be added to the Approved list, you must follow the App Approval process. The committee that reviews applications only meets once per month, so please plan ahead if you will need students to sign in to a new site/app that isn't on the Approved App list.
Student Chromebooks
If a device is locked, a ticket must be submitted to unlock the device.
