Staff Update: Chromebook Repair Exchanges, Insurance Purchasing Window, Librarian Help Line, and Sora Access

Chromebook Repair Exchanges Now Wednesdays 8-10am The weekly Chromebook repair exchanges continue on Wednesdays. The time slot has been moved to 8-10 am so that it does not overlap with live class Zoom sessions. If you have a student who needs immediate access to a Chromebook on other days (e.g., if they have no other technology options), please contact Jovan (jbessette@guhsd.net).

Chromebook Insurance Purchasing Window

If students ask about Chromebook insurance, refer to this information about how they can buy it. There is only a purchasing window at the start of each year (unless a student transfers in mid-year), and the deadline for 2020-21 is September 18, 2020.


Distance Librarian WHHS Help Line

Do you have students or parents who could use some extra one-on-one help navigating all of the tech programs for school? I am happy to help! Please feel free to share my information with them, and/or forward me their information, and I will reach out to them.


Sora Access for GUHSD (bit.ly/rst-sora)

This past summer, GUHSD access was set up for Sora, an eBook and audiobook lending app that now allows anyone with an @guhsd.net account to borrow books from the San Diego County Library’s OverDrive digital collection through single sign-on. Contact Suzanne if you have questions or want to discuss how you might use it.
