    Technology Trouble Shooting

    • Step 1:  Restart the chromebook
    • Step 2:  Sync the web filter, by going to the icon in the top right that looks like a splash of paint.  Choose barracuda and hit sync.  Then refresh the page once it says the sync is completed.  If it says sync failed, refresh the page and try again.
    • Step 3:  If still not working, email asnow@bscsd.org with a picture of the issue.

    Students received their username and password from HVCC in the mail during summer 2023.   This will be used for connection to wifi on visits, as well as for HVCC college coursework during the sophomore through senior years.  Please note: ECHS staff are unable to access them if lost or forgotten. We recommend that students who lose their password reset it during their monthly visit to HVCC TEC-SMART.
