WHAT IS THE TECH HOTLINE?
WHAT IS THE TECH HOTLINE?
The Tech Hotline is a phone-in service that has been set up to help address technical issues that students may have with their school-issued devices. It will enable students to communicate directly with site technical staff to trouble-shoot and, whenever possible, solve problems remotely which means we can help maintain social distancing during the Covid-19 crisis.
WHAT TYPES OF PROBLEMS CAN THE TECH HOTLINE HELP ME SOLVE?
Here are a few of the most common:
Help with setting up a new device
You have no home Wi-Fi
Software or apps not working properly
Uploading or Downloading apps
Password or log-in problems
Re-setting the device to original settings
Email problems
Office 365
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY LAPTOP IS VISIBLY BROKEN?
You may bring the visibly damaged laptop (ie: cracked screen, broken keyboard, etc.) into the school Library anytime between 7am-4pm. Please review the Student Laptop Policies (above) for more information on lost, broken, or stolen laptops and chargers including contact information for the Library.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE TECH HOTLINE?
Each school site will have a dedicated phone line that is serviced by two site technicians. Simply call the number associated with your school site. When prompted, dial extension 6411 to reach the Tech Hotline. These numbers will be posted on both the district and school site webpages and sent out via phone message as well.
