Summer equipment procedures

Here are some rules/guidelines for making the end of the year and the summer go smoothly for everyone.

Summer borrowing
If you want to borrow any piece of district equipment during the summer (including a laptop computer that you regularly use) you must check it out from the building where it is housed. For example, if you want to check out a laptop that normally "lives" at OMS, check with Lynn Benisch. DON'T bring an OMS computer to the district tech office and expect to check it out. This change from centralized checkout at the district tech office is to insure that everything gets returned to the correct place.

General room cleanup
Remove all batteries from remote controls. (i.e. Projectors, TV, boom boxes.) This keeps the batteries from draining over the summer, or worse, corroding inside the unit. You may want to label the batteries or tape them to the thing they came out of so you know where they go when you come back.

Unplug all power cords from all A/V equipment in your room, including TVs.

Clean up those electrons!
Keep track of important passwords. (Voicemail, Novell, PowerSchool, etc.)

Delete old and unused files from the Video (V:), Home (H:), and “share” folders (that you own, of course). If you don’t specifically need it as part of curriculum next year, it’s just using up valuable and limited space on the network.

Thank you!
