Try to Troubleshoot your Chromebook:

1. Since this problem is often caused by the battery going into "storage mode" by being drained completely, make sure the Chromebook is plugged in when you do these steps.
2. With the Chromebook off, press and hold ecs + refresh arrow + power for 2 or 3 seconds
3. Once you see the white screen with the pictures of a thumbdrive and sd card asking for recovery media, power down the Chromebook by pressing just the power button.
4. Wait 30 seconds and press power to turn the Chromebook back on. It may take up to a minute to come back on.
5. Log into your Chromebook as you normally would.

If this doesn't fix the issue, you can bring your Chromebook to the Library Media Center in school.
If you are not in school, contact the GPS Help Desk at 860-376-7662 (Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) or email Kyle Gunderman.

If you are having trouble accessing Infinite Campus or your Google account, please contact MBlondet@griswoldpublicschools.org or DMelgey@griswoldpublicschools.org.

If you can't get into your Collegeboard account, please email DMelgey@griswoldpublicschools.org.

Please note: if the student shared their username and password with the guidance department and has not changed either, we may have this information on file. If not, the student will need to go through the 'forgot username' or 'forgot password' steps on Collegeboard.org or contact Collegeboard directly for account help at 866-392-4089.

If you can't get into your Naviance account, please email DMelgey@griswoldpublicschools.org.

If your family has moved, a Change of Information Form should be completed by the parent and turned into School Counseling Secretary DMelgey@griswoldpublicschools.org.

The counseling office makes updates to a student's profile when there is a change in address, telephone number, or other personal database information.  A copy of the Change of Information Form may be obtained from the School Counseling Office.

In the event of inclement weather or school closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the following stations will broadcast school closing/delay notices:

• WCTY (97.7 FM) 
• WICH (1310 AM) 
• Q105 FM
• WILI (98.3 FM)
• WSFB (Channel 3)
• WTNH (Channel 8)
• WKSS (95.7 FM)
• WVIT (Channel 30)
• WDRC (102.9 FM)

Some of these stations have a SMS Text Message subscription service, where you can be notified about school closures via text.

The School Messenger Notify automated phone service will be used as one form of communication with families in the event of cancellations, delayed openings, and early dismissals. Parents and students should pay close attention on questionable days. 

Whenever possible, the Superintendent will choose a DELAYED OPENING rather than a cancellation.

There is no supply list for high school. Rather, students will receive a course syllabus on the first days of school with required/recommended materials for class. All students will also receive an agenda, which is required every day in every class. For the first days of school, we recommend a simple notebook and writing utensil. Please contact the main office for any support needed with supplies!

Principal Erin Palonen sends weekly memos via email on Friday. If you are not receiving the memos, please contact the GHS Main Office at 860-376-7640.
