Why isn't my school working?

Asked by coastiegirl96 (632points) March 29th, 2012

Okay, jellies. So I’m in online schooling, something called ROADS, and my school site won’t come up. It just stopped working out of nowhere. I tried to refresh it and it said the page didn’t exist. My mom will KILL me if she walks over and sees I’m not on it. What happened?! What can I do??

Do you have any contact information for the school? It could be a problem on their end with the site and there may be nothing you can do to fix it. If you have their number, I’d give them a call to see if they know of a problem with the website.

If you think it’s a problem on your end, you could try rebooting your system.

@Seaofclouds I refreshed and then restarted my laptop. Nothing. Now it’s saying the connection for it timed out. Ugh.

Sounds like the problem is on the school’s end. If you have an email or phone number for the school, call or email them.

And if you tell your mom now, she won’t get mad if you are not on but are trying to get on.

Sounds like the school’s website is down, for whatever reason. It happens to us, too! Just be patient, and let your mom know.

Have you tried using a proxy server? If not, try mancos.de. It will basically let you access the site from a different server, just in case your server is overloaded.

@coastiegirl96 In the extreme get out of everything, delete your browsing history and then try to load the site again..

@Adirondackwannabe I can’t delete browsing history my parents are the admin on my laptop.

Is this a good reason to go to them and explain why you’re not on the school site? Deleting it sometimes is the only way I get fluther back when it’s server crashes.

@coastiegirl96 Let me look at some other options then.

I went to Bing (yeah it usually sucks) and tried ROADS online school. It got me to the login page.
