Most upperclassmen already have a personal device or still have a school device they checked out last year. If a student chooses to check out a school device, they will need to follow the steps detailed below.

In order to checkout a device, students must bring the Chromebook Checkout Agreement to the library (DOWNLOAD AT BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE). It must be signed by both the PARENT and the STUDENT.  Please note that the library will not do one-day checkouts of Chromebooks.

Contact Technology Coordinator Jeremiah Wai at jwai@wvusd.org to schedule the return or check out of a device.

Through ParentSquare, families can:

• Receive school and classroom messages via email, text message, or the ParentSquare app

ParentSquare supports consistent and streamlined communication between school and home, helping families stay informed and connected to campus activities and updates.

All Diamond Bar High School students have district e-mail accounts. The accounts they have been using to access Google Drive, Google Docs and Google Classroom will now also give them access to Gmail. Student WVUSD Gmail accounts look like this: 6-digit ID#@stu.wvusd.org.

The district has been working on adding this feature because a lot of tools middle and high school teachers use with students such as Aeries, Edmodo, Google Classroom, Big Ideas and Turnitin, allow teachers to send notifications through e-mail. Teachers have often had a problem connecting with students because either the students did not have accounts or the account that was in Parent Portal had not been updated.

The district has to meet strict legal requirements when rolling out student e-mail access. For that reason, students will be limited to e-mailing student and staff e-mail accounts within our district, with a few exceptions. Here is a list of e-mail domains to which they can send and from which that can receive:

@wvusd.org

@stu.wvusd.org

@sched.org (for event scheduling apps)

They can receive messages sent from these district services: Blackboard, Turnitin, Edmodo and outside educational institutions with addresses that end in .edu, such as colleges.

When students address messages to other students, they can use the address that contains their ID# or they can start typing that student’s name in the TO line. Auto complete will show student addresses that match that name.

Students can access their WVUSD Google e-mail accounts on any chromebook, computer, phone or tablet. Chromebooks are available for student check-out with a signed permission form.

If a student has a problem accessing his or her account, they can contact our Technology Coordinator Jeremiah Wai at jwai@wvusd.org
