Your connection

Tap the dial. The check sends pulses to the district support server and watches them come back, pulls a stream of data down, pushes a stream up, then holds the line open to see how steady it stays. The stream on the dial is the live measurement.

Open a help desk ticket
Saved with each check: the numbers above, the location you picked, your device type, and your network address. Nothing about what you were doing online.
Quick fixes worth thirty seconds before opening a ticket
  1. Move, then retest. A few steps closer to the ceiling access point often changes everything; walls and metal carts eat Wi-Fi.
  2. Close the pile of tabs. Dozens of open tabs and a background video call slow the device itself, which looks exactly like slow internet.
  3. Restart the device. A Chromebook restarts in under a minute and clears most stuck connections.
  4. Check the right network. Make sure the device is on the district network, not a phone hotspot or a neighboring network that lingers from home.
  5. Then run the check above and send it in. If it still looks wrong, the Send to the help desk button gives the Technology Department every number it needs, including what the site link was doing at that exact moment.

District applications

The dots are live: the support server checks every district application on a schedule, so a glance answers whether an app is up before anyone types a thing. Tap one to time it from your own device as well, or type any other website below. Comparing the two sides tells you whether slowness sits on your connection or on the site itself.
