Do you need help with any of the tools being used by your student?
Here is a great place to begin!
Chromebook or Gmail
You must be connected to wifi before you log into your device for the first time. Also ensure they Chromebook keyboard is "US" not "US Intl".
Logging into Chromebook or their school Google account:
Login is their R#@rock.k12.nc.us
Password is their birthday MMDDYYYYr? If that doesn't work, try MMDDYYYY
If neither of those work, you will need to contact the RCS Helpdesk. They are the only people that can reset email passwords. They are available each school day from 8a-4p.

To log into the ed cloud your student will need their Student ID number (aka their lunch number).
The initial password is frequently set by their teacher to be "Raiders1". Students may change their password after they log in to anything they will remember.
If they forget their password, any of their current teachers can reset the password.
Call or email one of their teachers to have it reset.
If you intend to take a full-screen screenshot, then please follow the steps mentioned below:
-
Find the Switch window button on the top row of the buttons, in between the Fullscreen and Brightness down buttons. This can be considered as analogous to the conventional F5 button on the normal keyboards.
-
Use the shortcut of Ctrl+ Switch window to capture the screenshot of the full-screen contents.
-
After the screenshot is taken, its thumbnail appears in the bottom-right corner of the Chromebook. You can click it to go directly to the folder where it is stored or else, you can view it later by the Files option in the taskbar.
