On a District Chromebook

When students are logging in to their district Chromebook, they are prompted to enter their district email address (username and “@etownstudents.org”) and district password. When the Chromebook logs in, Clever will automatically launch and log the student in. On subsequent logins, students will only be required to enter their district password.
