Welcome Back!


 We hope you had a restful break and a great first week back with students!  Below you will find some important information/reminders.



Please mark your calendars for our beginning of the year tech/media meeting, which will be virtual via Google Meet (we'll send out the links closer to the date, too). 

Date and time options:
Option 1: Tuesday, August 31st 3pm-4pm OR
Option 2: Tuesday, August 31st 4:30pm-5:30pm


Both meetings will cover the same information, so just pick a time that works best with your schedule. 
Please remember that it is mandatory for all CTAs and tech contacts to attend one beginning of the year meeting and one end of the year meeting in order to maintain rights and access. 


*IMPORTANT* Before you checkout chromebooks to students, look in Destiny to see if they have devices not yet returned from the 2020-21 school year.  


JCPS Technology Services recommends Chromebooks for BYOD. We do not recommend Apple or Windows products to use safely on our networks. Other devices, such as Windows or Apple, are not approved due to security issues and an infection could take down the school and entire district. There is no way to ensure updates and virus protections are maintained on personal devices.  If schools have students bringing those devices in, just know they are not approved and put our network at risk.

 

Please archive/delete Google Classroom groups from last year.  Last year's restrictions through Relay Classroom will not release those students until the class has been archived/deleted.  


We have our 2021-2022 dates for Technology Discards/Recycle!

**VERY IMPORTANT** 

If you have any projector bulbs that need to be picked up, please put in an IT Direct Ticket in ASAP.  Please do not place them with the Technology Discards/Recycle items or in the courier because the likelihood of the bulb breaking and exposing others to Mercury would be too great.  


Do you have technology your school no longer uses but it still works?  Sharing is caring!  

Please use this SWAP Meet sheet to add what you have and/or what you need.

Relay Classroom

If you school used Relay Classroom last year it is IMPORTANT that you remind teachers they have to do one of the following to their classes last year:
1. Archive and Delete the class - found on the menu of any archived class

2. Clear all the students out of inactive classes
OR
3. Open Relay and remove any and all restrictions they had placed on the class last year, if you have active students in the class this is the one you want to select.

If you didn't help your school get started last year, you should do it now :).  Here is the link to the flyer we suggested you use last year. Here is the link to the blog post with more information.

If you have questions let us know we want to help.
