WIFI Troubleshooting Tips
WIFI - depends on what wifi you have and how many people are using it.
WIFI Troubleshooting Tips - Try these things:
1. You may need to move closer to the router, or open doors or remove large obstacles to the signal.
2. When possible, reduce the number of devices using your WIFI network during your class
3. Those sharing the WIFI during your class time should refrain from streaming video or doing large file uploads/downloads
4. If you have both a 2.4Gigahertz and a 5.0 Ghz band of your home WIFI network, try the other one (the 2.4Gz band has a longer range, but the 5Gz band can be faster).
5. If you have a sibling who is streaming or other intensive use, collaborate to make sure you are on different bands.
6. You may need to restart the router (let others now, as the signal will be lost)

Here is a link to a video that will help clean up some of the issues students are having with their Chromebook and prevent the need for an exchange.
If this does not resolve the problem, please have them email Mrs Sagara directly. Her email is: DianeS@fsusd.org

Happy Friday!!
As we continue to learn and grow with Distance Learning, I appreciate your patience. I know it can but tough at times--technology, schedules, curriculum--sometimes it's more than we can handle. Just as your child is getting used to 4th grade [and me], I am also still getting to know your child and figuring out the best way to get work out to them. It's definitely a work in progress...
I am trying to be available online to your child throughout the day [during "Independent" time] so that hopefully they are not constantly running to you, but starting to take some initiative in their own learning and seeking out help when they need it -- from me!!
