On September 4, 2018, Google is released an update to their Chrome browser. After the update you will no longer be able to save Flash Player settings within the browser. Each time you close or restart the browser (i.e. at the end of your school day) you will need to enable Flash when accessing your courses. To ensure the best experience with your online school, we suggest using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. You can download the latest version here. https://www.help.k12.com/s/article/Download-Mozilla-Firefox
If you are using a Chromebook or need to access your online classes using Chrome, we recommend installing the Flash Enabler extension which will enable and save Flash settings for your classes. Please refer to Enabling Flash in Chrome 69 on help.k12.com for a step-by-step guide to enabling Flash in Chrome 69.
