A new update and a quick reminder to view the 2 videos from Keenan Safe Schools
before the end of the day tomorrow (all staff):
CTL Chromebooks for Home
The Technology Department has
reached out to CTL, the manufacturer and vendor currently providing Chromebooks
for our WUSD classrooms, to request the same low pricing for our staff and
families. As announced at STU-CON, CTL has made this pricing available
for us to share. Go to bit.ly/wusdctl to order your
personal CTL J5 flip 10 point touch Chromebook for under $300. A flyer is
attached – we are working on the Spanish and Russian translations for our
families. This offer is valid for all of our WUSD families and staff.
Please note: Personal Chromebooks will not connect on our district network making
them a great resource for home.
REMINDER: Network
security begins with our WUSD Employees – DEADLINE TO COMPLETE IS THIS FRIDAY - TOMORROW!
As hackers get increasingly crafty
at attempts on our network, it is time to revisit network security and the
measures each employee can put into place to prevent ransomware and breaches.
Password security and email safety education are two areas that the
Technology Department is seeing as increasingly important in stopping this type
of activity. Each employee has a responsibility to the organization to have a
strong password that is kept safe and not shared (Section 2.6 of the WUSD Staff
and Faculty Acceptable Use Policy) and to have an understanding of general
practice around email and messaging safety (Section 3 of the WUSD Staff and
Faculty Acceptable Use Policy). The WUSD Staff and Faculty Acceptable UsePolicy is attached for your reference only – you already have a completed form
on file as an employee of WUSD.
To assist in developing a strong
password and to learn more about email and messaging safety, all WUSD Staff and
Faculty have been assigned the following two “courses” from Keenan Safe Schools
to complete and should have both
courses completed no later than Friday, April 7:
- · Password Security (Full Course) – 5 minutes
- · Email and Messaging Safety (Full Course) – 12 minutes
Please go to the website www.wusd.keenan.safeschools.com/login and
log in under your ID-the first initial of your first name and your last name
(for example: jdoe). If this does not work, please try your full first
name and full last name together. If you are still having trouble, please
reach out to Jennifer Geminder at jgeminder@wusd.k12.ca.us for assistance.
