If your main computer is a laptop and you are not a year-round employee, you must turn in your laptop on your last day of work to the IT office. We know that some people get really emotionally attached to their laptop (I can relate), but we need you to part with it for a while so we can keep everything operating well. You can pick it up about a week after you drop it off if you really want it back over the summer.
We need iPads for summer school! Please turn in iPads to your library (if that's where you checked it out from) or to the district IT office (if it is assigned to you primarily).
If you are a year-round employee whose main computer is a laptop, please schedule a time with the IT department when your computer can be updated (i.e., you can be without it for a couple days).
Summer equipment checkout
Equipment that is housed at a school cannot be checked out during the summer. The only items available for checkout are from the IT department in the District Services Office. This is to avoid the problems we've had in the past with some schools not getting their equipment back in a timely manner in the fall. DON'T bring a school computer to the district tech office and expect to check it out.
If you want to check out any piece of district equipment during the summer you must check it out from the IT department.
Summer AV procedures and cleanup
If your room is being used for summer school (which is pretty much all of PVE and half of NKE), please don't pack up your SmartBoard items and AV stuff; the summer school teachers have requested projectors and SmartBoards. Please label everything, though. Summer cleaning involves moving everything in your room into the hallway (along with everything from the other classrooms) and sometimes things get switched around. Labeling helps fix this.
Those of you at all other buildings, please:
- label all movable items
- 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.
Everyone:
- 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.
- Remove sticky notes, tape, pencil holders, decorations, awards, gum, mysterious life forms, etc., from your computer and monitor. If you plan to replace them next year, just store them somewhere. Or go crazy and throw them out, giving you a fresh start in the new year.
