FAQ About The New CPS Elementary 1:1 Computer Device Program
When experiencing any difficulty with the laptop, please note that most problems can be solved with logging out and restarting the device.
To keep the device in good working order, please remember to shut down or restart the device everyday or every other day.
If you are experiencing consistent and unexpected webpage loading issues, be sure that the date and time are accurate on the laptop. The date and time will often reset if the laptop loses power for an extended period of time.
Our school Internet filtering does not extend outside the school network. The best approach for families who would like Internet filtering at home would be to use parental controls on their router provided by their Internet provider (Comcast or Verizon). Using this approach would eliminate the need to install and manage any additional software on school devices going home.
