End of Life LanSchool Classic Chromebook Student
In January 2025, Google will transition away from packaged apps on ChromeOS devices.
This means that LanSchool Classic will no longer be available on Google Chromebook devices.
This does not affect LanSchool Air users, or LanSchool Classic users with Windows and Mac devices.
How do you know if this change impacts you?
- Verify you're using LanSchool Classic. In LanSchool, go to ‘Help’ and ‘About.’ If it says LanSchool Teacher Console, the software is LanSchool Classic.
- Verify your students are using Chromebooks. If you're using LanSchool Classic to monitor any student Chromebook device, you will be impacted.
