When students logon Chromebooks there is a JCS iBoss one time authentication prompt. All students should "Accept" this request,  otherwise the Chromebooks functionality may be limited.   Students can and do cancel the authentication and the request prompt will come up at the next logon.  We advise all teachers to request that their students "Accept" the JCS iBoss SSO message when they see it to eliminate possible issues with the Chromebook and Internet access.  If you have Chromebook issues such as  limited and problematic internet access, pages unable to load properly, "spinning," etc., you may want to have the student logon to another Chromebook and verify they have accepted the request.  Likewise, you may want to logon to the device with your logon to see if the issues continue.   Note: this is a one time authentication for students, they will not see it again.  Keep this acceptance process in mind with ne...

Teachers, I have posted these instructions on our CHHS Homepage under Announcements, but please share this information with your students!  Student accounts for PowerSchool/Schoolnet are now managed by Rapid Identity which means that logins from last year and last year's method of accessing student logins may not work. According to DPI, students in grades 6-12 MUST claim their NCEdCloud account in order to access PowerSchool/Schoolnet. We have prepared documentation for how 6-12 students can claim their accounts as well as how K-5 teachers can access their student's account information. Please click here for 6-12 student claiming information. Thank you for your patience!

Technology makes it easier than ever for students to collaborate. This week's web tool is a very simple and free way for students to illustrate and collaborate on any device. A Web Whiteboard App or  AWWAPP  is an interactive space that does not require any type of account or registration for teachers and students to use. To get started, visit:  https://awwapp.com/ Click on "Start Drawing" to open a new space. You will see a white space with a toolbar on the left side.
