Technology Support for Students and Families

What to Do Before Contacting Technology Support

There are many things that could cause a problem with your device. No matter the cause, troubleshooting is often a process of trial and error. Prior to contacting Tech Support we suggest restarting your computer

Restarting your device can solve a lot of basic issues. It will force programs to close and may trigger software updates. This is a time-saver. When you contact Tech Support, you can let us know you’ve already completed this troubleshooting tip.​​​​​​

To restart your BSD computer:

Get Help with Technology

Students and families can get technology support by phone, email, or in-person. All students have access to the district’s Student How-To Guides online. Sometimes, restarting a device can solve basic issues.

  • Parents and students call (425) 456-4321

Email

  • Monday through Friday: 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Students may visit the Technology Specialist at their designated school for in-person technology support. They may contact their school for details. Contact information is available on each school’s website.

Bellevue Digital Discovery students who need technology support can email studenthelp@bsd405.org from their BSD email account. If their BSD laptop is broken, students may also send an email from their BSD account using another device by logging in to their email at office365.

Note: Students leaving the District may turn in devices and peripherals including laptops, laptop bags, hotspots, power adapters, and styluses to the school they attended last year. Visit the school’s website for information regarding summer office hours.

Access to Technology and the Internet

In service of equity, we are committed to ensuring all K-12 students have a device and Internet access. This applies to all students, regardless of the instructional model you selected (temporary remote/hybrid or virtual). We issued iPads to students in grades K-1 and laptops to students in grades 2-12. This provides all students access to continued learning, engagement and connection opportunities.
