We will provide our best effort support to students at home, both for school-owned and family-owned devices. In many cases, this should start as a support ticket and may escalate to a remote viewing session in which we walk you through solving an issue. If that doesn't work, we may request access to remote control the device with your permission. Our last line of support for failing hardware is for you to ship it back to the school. Please note that in many cases of hardware issue on family-owned devices, we'll suggest you go to the manufacturer or reseller for support on the physical hardware. | We will provide our best effort support to students at home, both for school-owned and family-owned devices.
