Chromebook Support

If the student does not yet have a PUSD-provided Chromebook, please submit a Helpdesk Tech Ticket immediately by visiting gopusd.com/helpdesk

Curbside Tech Support
Since April 2020, ITS has held curbside appointments with both PUSD students and staff. These appointments will support device issues that can't be solved remotely, such as, Chromebook checkouts, hotspot checkouts, and student exchanges for loaner devices. Please note that these appointments can only be scheduled after a Tech Ticket has been submitted online by visiting the Helpdesk within ARMS. We appreciate your patience, and we hope to speed up our service time with this new procedure in place.
