Community Safe
All schools should have sent home in their student packets the Community
Safe Request for Information to be used to update the contact information
for all students in STAR. We will be conducting a WebEx training (Train
the trainer) with your TST on Tuesday, August 19th. The TSTs will be responsible
for sharing with each principal and their designees how to use the system
and manage any additional calling lists you may want to generate. In addition,
I have sent a Client Profile via email that each school should fill out
before user accounts can be created. If you have misplaced this or need
another copy please let me know. If you can return that prior to August
19th, I will work with Community Safe to get those accounts setup.
All schools should have their contact info updated by the Labor Day
weekend. I will follow-up on the status of this request after the holiday
weekend. It is my hope that the initial test of the system should be completed
the first week in September and all schools begin using the notification
system sometime in September.
Technology Coaches/Staff Development
All principals should have submitted by now their choices for who their
webmaster and technology coach will be for 2008-09. There will not be an
after-school training component this year in lieu of all technology coaches
participating in the November 7th staff development day and/or the May
2009 technology inservice.
Desktop Computer Bid
Dell Computer is continuing to honor the 2007-2008 desktop computer
bid on the district website until we have an updated computer bid in place.
I am tentatively looking at going out to bid in early September. That is
not firm but it is my intention to have an updated computer bid by the
first of October.
