WIRELESS Wireless is working for all district laptops across the district.  The wi-fi network is hidden, so if you have wireless turned “On” on your laptop, it will automatically connect.  Information on using the wireless can be found at http://wusdedtech.blogspot.com/2015/08/wireless-update-connecting.html  If you do not need to be mobile, we encourage you to use the Ethernet cord and tether your device for a more stable connection. 

REMINDERS:

STUDENT LOGIN (http://www.wusd.k12.ca.us/departments/information-technology/Pages/Student-Login-Information.aspx)  If your students continue to have challenges logging in with their network, please be sure to do a Help Desk Ticket and we can help you out.

HELP DESK TICKETS (http://helpdesk.wusd.k12.ca.us/) The quickest way to let us know if you are having any technology issues in your classroom or at your school site is by submitting a Technology Help Desk Ticket.  Please take a moment to login with your district/network/email login and tell us if you have are having trouble.  The system can only be accessed through the district network, so the link will not work from home. If we don't know, we can't help!
