Chromebooks: Getting Started

Connecting to Wireless, Logging in and Logging Out

 

To connect a student Chromebook to wireless, select the appropriate Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks and enter the network password if prompted. Students will log in using their district-provided Google account, which ensures secure access to learning tools and resources.

 

Student login procedures differ based on grade level (see below). 

 

Grades TK-1 Login Procedure

 

With the QuickCard feature, students will be able to login to their PUSD Chromebook and

MyPLAN by scanning their personal QuickCard without having to type their username and password. See this Quick Guide for QuickCard login procedures. See here to print a QuckCard.

 

Grades 2-12 Login Procedure

 

Student Login username is the student's school ID number. Their password is their 4 digit code. Both can be found in Student Report Center.

 

Example username: 19*****

 

Elementary passwords are 4 digits

 

Middle and high school passwords are 6 digits and can be reset by the student.

 

Logout Procedure

 

At the end of each session, students should log out by clicking their profile icon in the bottom-right corner and selecting “Sign Out” to protect their information and prepare the device for updates to occur. Note: Closing the screen does not shut down the Chromebook.

Properly caring for Chromebooks is essential to ensure they remain functional, reliable, and accessible for student learning. These devices are valuable tools that support education, and taking simple steps—such as handling them with clean hands, keeping them in a safe place, avoiding food and drinks nearby, and charging them correctly—can extend their lifespan.
