IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you receive the error "site cannot be reached" when submitting your application using a Chromebook, your device may need to run an update. Turn your Chromebook completely off and then back on again - this will prompt the update to run and you will then be able to submit. Contact Mrs. P if you have any issues!
