Students can only complete their portion of the forms after their parents have completed the majority of the forms. The forms listed below require a student signature.

• Take some time to explore your new Chromebook
• In the top right corner of any New Tab, or within any Google app, is the Google Waffle. The icon looks like a waffle, or a 3x3 grid of dots. This is where you will find all of your Google apps, such as, Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc. You can use it to quickly switch between apps on the fly. If you open a Google app from a New Tab, the app will just open. If you open a Google app from within another Google app, the new app will open in a new tab and leave your old one alone. Also, you can rearrange the icons within the Waffle, so you can organize it however you like.
• Make sure you look at Gmail - CHECK THIS DAILY
• Get familiar with Google Drive and Classroom - You will use these daily
• You can bookmark websites by clicking on the star in the address bar on the right side
• Clicking on the clock in the lower right corner brings up a menu with important features
• Settings can be changed by clicking on the gear icon
• Connect your Chromebook to your home wifi network by clicking the Wifi button
• Closing the lid of your Chromebook puts it to sleep but does not restart or shutdown
• It is a good idea to restart your Chromebook once a week, to keep errors low
• Don’t forget, if you earn your CTC Program Completion Certificate, you will earn your Chromebook, so make sure you keep it in good condition!
