Oak Harbor Public Schools is proud to issue one Chromebook for each student in our K-12 programs at the beginning of the school year thanks to the generous and continued support of the community through local levies.  

Using Chromebooks

Connect Your Chromebook to Wi-Fi
To connect to the Internet, use a compatible Wi-Fi network.

Step 1: Turn on Wi-Fi

1. At the bottom right, select the time.
2. Select Not Connected. Note: If you see your Wi-Fi network name and signal strength, your Chromebook is already connected to Wi-Fi.
3. Your Chromebook will automatically look for available networks and show them to you in a list.

Step 2: Pick a network and connect

1. Select the secure Wi-Fi network.
2. Type the network password.
3. Select Connect.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If your Chrome device is unable to connect to the Internet and complete the setup process, make sure the network you’re connected to is properly set up and able to access the Internet. If troubles persist, try connecting your device to a different network.

If you experience issues with your Chromebook not responding, try powering the Chromebook off and turning it back on.

Student Email/Login

Go to Gmail

The format for student Google accounts is

• First 5 letters of the students Last Name

• First 3 letters of the students First Name

• 3 Digits starting with 000 that increment to prevent duplication.

For example , John Smith would be: smithjoh000@students.ohsd.net

If the last name or first name is shorter than the designated length above, we will shorten the email address/login accordingly.

For example, Jo Ager would be: agerjo000@students.ohsd.net

Initial passwords are emailed to the parents/guardians upon enrollment. 

Technical Support
Information Services is able to offer limited remote support for issues with your Chromebook and can not guarantee the availability of support throughout school breaks. If you are experiencing issues that are not resolved by these steps, please contact 360-279-5589.

Digital Citizenship

As more students interact digitally–with content, one another, and various communities–the concept of digital citizenship becomes increasingly important. Our goal is to create a community of learners who understand how to use digital resources effectively, efficiently and responsibly. With proper guidance from teachers and parents, our students can make the Internet a better place for sharing and learning.

Acceptable Use

Digital citizenship is appropriate and responsible behavior with regard to technology use. We provide instruction in digital citizenship for students and encourage them to participate in related classroom discussions. As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a safe technology environment, Oak Harbor Schools have adopted the following Electronic Resources and Internet Safety Policy:
