CHROMEBOOK REPAIR PROTOCOL
If your student enters a ticket through the IIQ Helpdesk while at home, they will need to drop off the Chromebook in the library when they come to school the next day. The Tech Department will collect the broken device and perform the repairs. Students may be able to get a loaner device while waiting for their device to be repaired.
When the repairs are done, the student will be alerted via their ticket/email to pick up their device in the library.
Devi Venugopal, Technology Integration Specialist at McCarthy, has provided this helpful video to guide parents through the process of submitting an IIQ Helpdesk ticket.
