Assign Chromebooks to Students by Homeroom

*Important Note!  Homerooms in Destiny reflect the homerooms as listed in PowerSchool from last night’s import.  After running these reports, check with your Registrar to verify that homerooms are correct!  If there is a discrepancy that cannot be explained, have the Registrar follow the directions at bottom of this document.  If still needing help, call the ET Help Desk at 251-970-4400.

How to Assign Student Chromebooks by Homeroom in Destiny.

Log into Destiny, select Reports|Patron Reports|Barcode Labels: 

Log into Destiny, select Reports|Patron Reports|Barcode Labels: 

• Select Sorted by Homeroom. 

• Click on the Update button to change from “All Patron Types” to “Student.” 
• Select only the “Active” status. 
• Select the checkbox for Barcode Number. 
• Select option to Export to Excel. 
• Select option to Use at the Circulation Desk, and Start a new page for each group. 

• Run the report. 

The report will print a barcode for each student at your school, and will group them by homeroom.  The homeroom will show at the top left of each page.   

Note – Students who have not been placed in a homeroom will show a blank homeroom value at top of page.  You can still check out Chromebooks to them, and locate the student later if you like.  Or, get Registrar to update homerooms and re-print the report tomorrow. 

 

Go to the Circulation|Checkout menu in Destiny.  Scan a barcode for a student, then scan a barcode for a Chromebook.  Repeat for each student on a page, then physically group the Chromebooks for each homeroom (boxes, crates, stacks, etc…). 

You can now print a report that will list which Chromebooks were assigned to students by homeroom.  Select Reports|Report Builder|Chromebooks (1:1) Checked Out:  

Leave the Chromebooks with the report, so that the teacher may give the Chromebooks to the students as shown on the report.  If any students failed to show (no-shows) then have the teacher return un-used Chromebooks to you.
