Chromebooks - Support

Chromebook Care & Digital Citizenship for Parents (Slide Presentation)

We will continue to work to get educational devices and connectivity options into the hands of students and families to ensure teaching and learning can continue anytime, anywhere, to support teaching and learning to the greatest extent possible. San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) will make Chromebook laptop devices available to all students in grades UTK-12. Click the image to learn more about SDUSD's 1:1 Device Program.

For students needing a device for the 2023-24 school year, contact your school of enrollment.

Laptop Care and Use at Home

Note: Many issues with Chromebooks can be resolved by restarting the device. Students and parents can refer to

the resources provided on this page for easy to follow steps to resolve a majority of issues not related to damage.

We always recommend that students:

Charge the laptop fully each night - it may also be used while plugged in
Use the laptop in a common area of the house - avoid using outside
Use the laptop on a desk or table - avoid using or leaving it on floors
Keep the laptop away from food, liquid, and pets

As the Chromebook laptop is District property, all district settings and controls will apply. Student web content is filtered, but parents/guardians are ultimately responsible for monitoring the student’s use and browsing activity of the laptop.

Need Help with Device?

If your student already has a device that is not working or broken, please contact the Online Learning Support Line at (619) 732-1400. The support technician will troubleshoot the computer and if the issue cannot be resolved during the call, will recommend exchanging it at your school of enrollment.
