Get Your Laptop Ready for School

After your laptop is checked out:
  • Make sure your device is charged. It might need ot charge for about 10 minutes before it turns on.
  • Turn on your device.
  • Connect to wifi.
  • Login to the laptop using district credentials. Use the full email address (first.last@studentssd.org).
Troubleshooting tips:
  • If you’re unable to login, verify your district account is working by using a different device, going to the district website, and making sure you can login to HelloID. 
  • If the above step works, verify your district laptop is connected to a wireless network.
  • Reboot and try again. If this fails, you will need to get assistance the next time you come to school. Make sure you follow the next steps.
Night before school:
  • Keep your laptop ‘on’ to let the battery charge and receive software and configuration updates.
Morning of school:
  • Shutdown your laptop before you leave to save power.
  • Don't forget your laptop charger.
When you get to school:
  • Make sure you are connecting to SSD-DEV or SSD-WIFI
  • If you are still unable to connect, use SSD-BYOD.
