Grade 12 families and students,
For those grade 12 students who have spent their entire 4 years at Vanier, you are able to keep your chromebook after graduation. However, those students who have not spent the last 4 years at Vanier will need to pay the buyout price if you wish to keep the Chromebook. Mr. Marak will be in contact with those families and students this week who have money owing on the chromebooks. On Monday, June 22, all grade 12 students will be removed from the HTCSD network which means that on Tuesday, June 23, all grade 12 students will need to reset their Chromebooks by following the instructions that are below.
Wipe a Chromebook
1. Press Esc++Power
A yellow exclamation point (!) or “Please insert a recovery USB stick” is displayed.
2. Press Ctrl+D to begin Dev mode, then press Enter.
3. Press Space, then press Enter.
The Chromebook deletes its local data, returning to its initial state. This can take approximately 40 minutes.
Note: if Forced re-enrollment is enabled for the device, you’ll see a note that Developer mode is blocked. This shortens the wipe process, and still allows for re-enrollment when the device automatically restarts in Verified mode.
4. When the transition completes, press the space bar, then press Enter to return to Verified mode.
5. Enroll the Chromebook before signing in.
Thank you,
Mr. Marak
