Introduction to Chromebooks
Getting Started
Students login using their user name along with our domain name:
[email protected] The district has assigned each student with a Google App password.
When you turn on a Chromebook it very quickly brings you to a
login screen.
What if your students cannot remember their password?
Once at the site, select Google Apps Student Accounts Directory (Requires Login)
Tip: make it a favorite
We have a searchable directory of student usernames and passwords for Google Apps that can be found at : www.freeholdboro.k12.nj.us/domain/41
If the username/password obtained from the Google Apps Student Directory does not provide
the student login access, please submit a helpdesk ticket under Google Apps.
Information to include in your helpdesk ticket:● Exact password the directory provided; OR● State that the student information was not
found in the directory. This will help us to keep the directory up to date .
