Summer
Reminders
|
|
|
| |
Before you leave to enjoy your
summer break, here are some reminders of things you should do:
- Please write down your email
password and put it in a secure place so you will
remember it when you come back in August.
- To protect your computers and
printers they should be unplugged. Cover them in order
to keep dust out.
- Now is a very good time to
back up the important files on your hard drive and store in a
safe place.
- Ink cartridges from inkjet
printers should be removed and placed in a zip lock bag to
keep them from drying out.
- To ensure that your equipment
will be repaired when school starts, you must bring it to the
Tech Repair Center by May 31st.
The Tech Repair Department is
open all summer from 7:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. (weekdays) and tech.help
is available also. Have a great summer!

An excerpt from If You Don't Feed
the Teachers, They Eat the Students
by Neila Connors. Incentive Publications, 2000. p. 140
Remember the "F" words
of successful organizations. These terms are shouted, practiced,
internalized, and modeled in the best schools each day:
- Flexibility
- Feedback
- Freedom
- Forward-thinking
- Focus
- Future-oriented
|
- Fairness
- Fun
- Foresightfulness
- Food (literally and
figuratively)
- Family
