Student Chromebook Logins
1st and 2nd grade students will now be able to login to the Chromebooks using a “QuickCard”. Cards have been printed and laminated for all 1st and 2nd grade students and will be delivered to staff by the end of the week. All other grades will continue to login with their email address and passwords. If staff wish to continue having their 1st and 2nd grade students login with their email address and password they are able to still do that, the QuickCards are just an option. If there are students in 3rd-5th grade that need special assistance logging into their device QuickCards can be printed for those students by your building tech.
Open and power on the Chromebook. A new season themed login screen will load.
Students will have the option to click the top grey “Sign in with Microsoft” button or the blue “Sign-in with QuickCard” button. (If they click the sign in with Microsoft button they will be prompted to enter their email and password like they have always done.)
Clicking the blue QuickCard button will open a camera window, the students simply hold their QuickCard up to the camera and they will be signed into the Chromebook.
Once signed in the Chromebook will automatically load the Launch Pad tab in the browser. The Launch Pad will have just a few applications in it to start. Students simply click on the icon for the app they want to use and they will be automatically logged into the app. The Launcher is just a tab in the Chromebook browser window, the Chromebook will still be able to open any other tabs and websites you need the students to use.
