A Message from Whitefish Bay School District
We believe that in person learning has significant benefits for students, not only academically, but also for social-emotional development and overall health and well-being. Our hope is to resume to a traditional environment and full in person learning as soon as it is safely possible for the 2020-2021 school year. This website will support students and families as we potentially transition in and out of multiple learning environments.
We appreciate our community's involvement and understanding as we work to provide the best education and support we can. Together we will do everything to make the 2020-2021 school year a positive, joyful, and engaging learning experience for all of our students and staff!
Whitefish Bay is an exceptional place to learn- Exceptional anywhere we learn!
Technology Support
The District IT team will provide technology assistance to all families/students during the VLT timeframe during normal school hours listed below. The support team will only address technology issues with district provided equipment (Chromebooks) and applications (Seesaw, Canvas, Google Docs). The team CANNOT support personally owned equipment (laptops, PCs, iPads, phones, routers, wireless access points, etc) or issues with your Internet Service Provider (Spectrum, AT&T, etc).
Technology Support Hours (Monday-Friday): 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM
If students or parents incur problems with accessing the various technology needed to support VLT, students should follow these steps:
- Chromebook Troubleshooting Tips and other resources found on the right side of this webpage.
- Google Account Passwords: Students use their school Google account for Chromebooks, Google Classroom, and Seesaw access. Student passwords can be found on Skyward Family Access under the "Report Cards and Letters" button on the left side of the screen.
- If your teacher is unable to resolve the issue or answer your question, or you need a district issued chromebook, or you have a district device that needs repair, submit an WFB Technology Help Desk Ticket by clicking here.
Please be patient with the teachers and support staff as every attempt will be made to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. All tickets should be responded to within 24 hours.
