District-wide copier moves and printing initiative: We redistributed copiers/printers after vacating the schools closed after the 2007-2008 school year. The goal this year is to minimize the number of desktop printers we use and replace them with strategically-located network copiers/printers. In other words, we will soon be able to print from our computers to the nearest copy machines. Click here to see your school's copier inventory.

Single Sign-On for computers and email: Throughout the year, all PCs in the district will be set up to require a username and password to log on. The username and password will be the same as your email username and password. You may change your password or recover a lost password any time by following these password instructions.
