WHHS Student Chromebook Announcements Back-to-School 2023-24

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year!

Don't Have a Chromebook?

New 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students who do not have Chromebooks may go to the library during open hours to check one out, including during class when teachers allow.

9th grade students check out Chromebooks with their Global Studies classes on Wednesday, August 16th. After this date, students may go to the library.

NOTE: If you simply forget to bring your Chromebook or charger for a day, the library does NOT check out "day loan" items. Classroom teachers have a limited supply of items for in-classroom use in these situations. If there is a special circumstance, please talk to the library.

Chromebook Repair Info

Students may get Chromebook help in the library during open hours -or- at the Tech Help Door during lunch when the library is closed.

Students will be checked out a loaner Chromebook to use if a Chromebook needs to be kept for repair. Students will use the loaner until their original Chromebook has been fixed and returned.

Regarding Chromebooks Submitted for Repair: When repaired Chromebooks are ready for pick-up, students will receive an email and classroom pass to bring their current "loaner" Chromebook to the library to exchange. For Chromebooks submitted for repair prior to the 2023-24 school year, inquire about repair status in the library.

Regarding insurance expiring during 2022-23: Insurance expiring at the end of the 2022-23 school year will only apply for repairs submitted by Friday, August 18, 2023. After that, students must have a current insurance policy for the 2023-24 school year.

INSURANCE / PROTECTION PLAN

All Students: You may purchase an optional Chromebook insurance policy via the WHHS Finance Office. Click here to learn more about GUHSD Chromebook Protection Plans. The purchase deadline is September 29, 2023. NOTE: All purchased policies should display as a "Resource Checkout" in Destiny (use button below) once purchases are processed by staff (allow about a week).

Note for Returning GUHSD Students: If you previously purchased a multi-year insurance policy, it will display as a "Resource Checkout" in Destiny. Click on the button above to log into Destiny, and then click on "My Info" to view checkout information. Not sure if your "checked out" insurance has expired? Email ssannwald@guhsd.net for more help.

Infinite campus/Campus portal login issues?

No wifi?

Check your Chromebook's date and time settings.

Click on the time and then the date. Your Chromebook requires the correct date and time to connect to our school's wifi network. These settings may be lost when a Chromebook's battery is fully discharged.

If you need help securing WiFi at your home, please see discounted internet rate information and communicate any unresolved access needs with your VP. If you do have to use your Chromebook offline at times, here is information on how to do so.

NOTE: Students may only connect to on-campus WiFi with their school-issued Chromebook. There is not WiFi access available for personal devices.

Need to print?

Students may print from their Chromebooks in the library during open hours. Black & white printing of school work is FREE (otherwise $0.10/page). All color printing is $0.25/page.

More questions?

Contact our West Hills Teacher Librarian Ms. Sannwald by email (ssannwald@guhsd.net) or phone (619-956-0461) or stop by the library during open hours.
