School district staff are entrusted with computer devices to support their professional responsibilities and enhance educational outcomes. It is essential to treat these devices with care by keeping them clean, storing them securely, and protecting them from physical damage.

Avoid downloading unauthorized software or using the device for personal purposes, as it is the property of the school district and intended strictly for work-related activities. Please refer to the staff network agreement.

Remember, maintaining the device in good condition not only ensures its longevity but also supports the district’s mission to provide high-quality education and resources.

If you encounter issues, the Technology Department is here to help!
