Important Technology Information

The Division of Technology has stated that no routers (wireless) or other devices from home may be connected to our network. These devices cause wrong IP addresses to be pulled and may cause DNS settings to be changed.

Please remember to log in through the network to all machines at least once a month to update the anti-virus software and security patches. Failure to log in will cause the machine to be disjoined from the network. Summer months have been extended.

Please keep your e-mail boxes managed. That means clean it out so that it does not get full. Don't forget to empty the TRASH and delete your SENT ITEMS Folder. Do not fall for phishing scams. That is, never give personal information such as SS# or passwords. The school board has all this information and would never have to ask for it. If you do not recognize who the e-mail is from then delete it without opening. Also pay attention to all e-mails from POST OFFICE.

Remember that when you signed the AUP you understood that you can expect NO Privacy when it comes to E-Mail and Internet usage. Security makes personal contact once a number of hits have become noticeable on a weekly report that they run. They said they average the dismissal of one employee a month for inappropriate material. Most of the investigations turn out to be a student logged in under a teacher's log in. Please refrain from doing this and protect all passwords.(Do not keep passwords listed by computer etc.) They did state even though they can see all e-mail, they do not care about viewing this unless a certain person is under investigation.

Remember your students can log in with your help. Username is s******** (s followed by eight digit student number) and Password (last 4 of the student's Social Security number) If your students use desktops in your classroom make sure they are logged in under a student log in. Questions...just e-mail me.
