Other Important Information

Student Responsible Use Agreement

The expectations for appropriate Chromebook use vary by grade level. Elementary students typically sign a Responsible Use Agreement (RUA) before a they use a Chromebook. Secondary students acknowledge the RUA at least once a year upon signing into a Chromebook. 

Parent Acknowledgement

The signature of a parent/guardian is required before students will be allowed to use technology devices on the NPS network. Amongst other things, the Parental Acknowledgement (PA) document:

  • Clearly indicates to parents that their child will be using devices that can access the internet.
  • Serves as the consent to allow NPS to manage which instructional tools may gather personally identifiable information about their child, per COPPA, FERPA, PPRA, and other Federal and State laws.
  • Establishes that use of the devices is a privilege.

Parent Concerns

Kids of all ages are swiping and scrolling, totally transfixed by screens of all sizes. If you have questions on how to take control of the technology in your kids’ lives, we recommend Common Sense Media’s  web resources for parents. Covering the landscape of “online” life, the advice they offer is shared from a place of understanding and concern for what’s best for kids.

Chromebook Problems?

Restart the Chromebook

As simple as it sounds, most Chromebook issues are resolved by restarting the device.

Full Reboot

  1. Click the user panel in the bottom right corner of the screen (unless you have moved it elsewhere.)
  2. There is a power symbol   along the top of the user panel. Click it to shut the laptop down.
  3. Click the power button on the Chromebook to turn it back on. Depending upon the model of Chromebook you are using the power button may be found at the top-right corner of your keyboard, or on the left side of the device.

Clear Chrome Browsing Data

Many issues are resolved by clearing the cookies and cached data in the web browser.

  1. Launch Google Chrome.
  2. At the top right, click the three-dot menu  and select “Delete browsing data.”
  3. In the time range drop-down, choose “All time.”
  4. Select all of the types of information for removal.
  5. Click Clear data.

 

If the issue still persists, have your student bring it to the attention of the appropriate staff member at their school.
