School computers are to be used as tools for accessing curriculums and facilitating student learning.

Admin username and password details are located on the “Tech Quick Start Guide” that came with the device.

Can I add my own password?

You are welcome to change the password for your student’s Google and Microsoft Accounts. Please note that these are two separate accounts - changing the password for one does not change the password for the other. Please do not change the default password of the local Student account.

Does the computer come with Microsoft Office?

Yes. All school computers ship with Microsoft Office preinstalled.

I’m withdrawing. What should I do with the Technology I received?

If you are withdrawing, please return the items to your teacher, local school office or request a shipping label from the Tech Department by submitting a ticket at the MVA Remote Ticket Form.
