Topper Tech Team (T3)

Our T3 members are available each class period for assistance with Chromebook issues. Problems could include broken screens, OS messages, failure to reboot, damaged keyboards, devices not charging, etc. The team members are trained to solve a variety of problems, but should the device need the assistance of the JCS Techs, it will be taken for repair. This allows the student to become a Day User until the device is repaired. Loaners are available from 7:25 a.m.-3 p.m. each day.
