Zoom help

If Zoom isn’t working on your Chromebook, reboot. You can test that it works in advance of any scheduled class meetings by clicking to join a test meeting  then clicking Join. It may ask if you want to run/install the extension to run Zoom; go ahead and agree to that. As long as it didn’t say it was blocked then you’re set! More Zoom help

Chromebook info

If your Chromebook won’t boot:

  • Plug it in
  • Hold down circular arrow key above the 4 while holding down power button…keep holding these down for 30-45 seconds, until power light responds (turns off if it was on or turns on if it was off)
  • Close Chromebook lid for about 15 seconds
  • Open lid and wait about 15 seconds…the screen should turn on

It might take a few tries!

If you’re having trouble with a particular app reach out to other students or your teacher first. If your device isn’t working right email your tech. You can also contact Student Tech Help: after logging into Clever you’ll see a blue Student Tech Help icon, if you click this it will open an email to them.

Skyward login reset

To reset your Skyward login:

  • Go to Skyward and click Forgot your Login/Password
  • Click I’m not a robot (select Captcha pictures if they pop up)
  • Enter your email address: YourStudentID@student.vansd.org
  • Open your email; it will be from “donotreply”
  • In the email, note where it says your username then click the link
  • Type in your desired password twice
  • Go to Skyward (app or website) and use your login–the username from that email and the password you just created
