Update: August 25, 2020
Orchard School has transitioned to the Canvas Learning System, where classes, schedules, activities and other classroom information are posted. All Orchard students can now log-in to Canvas by clicking here.
MIFI/HotSpots have been delivered and distributed to parents who have previously made a request. If your student will need a hotspot this fall, send a request to the Helpdesk (helpdesk@orchardsd.org). Please include your student's name, grade and your contact information.
Chromebooks
Chromebooks
We are committed to ensuring that every student has the technology they need to successfully participate in distance learning. Chromebooks will be available for every student. Although many have been allocated a Chromebook to take home, many have also opted to wait for the next round of devices. We appreciate your patience. At this time, because of delivery delays due to Covid-19, we are anticipating units sometime this fall.
Resources & Support
We update our FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) as often as possible. You can find answers regarding Canvas, Chromebooks or Zoom.
But if you’ve looked at the information above and still need individual help with your devices or applications, the Orchard School Technology Team is here to support you. Please email helpdesk@orchardsd.org with a clear subject line and an explanation of the problem, including screenshots if possible.
