2017-2018 End of Year Procedures for Technology

CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY
The technology equipment at your school is district-owned and has been assigned to your site and to each room. Do NOT move technology (desktops, monitors, Elmos, projectors, or laptops) from the present location as it has been inventoried and assigned to the room.

The Technology Team will check all classroom equipment against the current inventory as part of our summer preparation for the next school year.
  • All SMART Boards - including cables, pens and power supplies - are to remain in their current location within the room.
  • Laptops will be checked in by the site administrator as part of the checkout procedure. Leave the laptop in your classroom with the power supply.
  • If you are moving sites or classrooms, do not move the equipment.
  • Leave networked computers (desktops) and printers plugged in. Computers must be plugged in and turned on in order to receive updates and monitors should be turned off.
  • All personal devices must be removed during summer break.
  • District issued teacher Chromebooks can be taken home for the summer and do not need to be checked out - they are assigned to you, not the room or site. If you are moving sites or classrooms, take your Chromebook with you.
  • Chromebook and Windows carts are to be left in the classroom - locked and plugged in. Do not remove any equipment from a cart of mobile devices (laptop, Chromebook or tablet).

FILES

Computers are re-imaged and repaired over the summer and in some cases, replaced.  All user data should be backed up on storage devices (such as a USB drive), to your H-Drive, or to your Google Drive.  If you save files to the desktop on your classroom computer, you must move them to your H-Drive or Google Drive as they will be deleted during the re-imaging process. It is recommended that you store all of your documents in Google Drive in order to have access throughout the summer. Everything you store on your H-Drive will be available when you log on in August. If you need assistance, please submit a ticket at http://helpdesk.wusd.k12.ca.us/.
SUMMER EQUIPMENT CHECKOUT
PC laptops and other devices will not be available for checkout this summer. Every teacher has been issued a Chromebook for use in classrooms, professional learning, and planning. If you are a certificated employee who works directly with students and you do not have a district issued Chromebook, please complete this form: https://goo.gl/U2Nvpr
