New Staff Meeting Presentation

Who to Ask



Software Updates

Please be aware that over the summer, Technology Services updated some software at your schools.  These updates were for general maintenance, requirements for various software, and/or due to the fact that some of these items are no longer in the image and were needed for any new computers/laptops received over the summer, refresh or otherwise.

Some of the software updates you may see (but not limited to):
  • Flash Player
  • Shockwave
  • Java
  • QuickTime
  • Adobe Reader
  • Symantec Antivirus
Due to the amount of software that may be deploying at your school, and the speed of the network, Technology Services highly suggests having teachers turn on the computers in their room one at a time.  This will help facilitate the install of the software without overwhelming the server or the network.  The best course of action would be to turn a computer on and wait for it to reach the login screen.  Once you can log in, turn on the next computer, and so on. Also please note that it may take a restart or two for the software to come down, so if it doesn't install on the first day back, you might see it come down on the second day.

Printing/Copying

Gracia Gartland is in charge of purchasing ink and toners.

Do not print several copies of a sheet. Print one copy and use the copy machine. Please limit use of color printer.

Gracia will show how to use the copy machine in the teacher workroom.
