Media/Tech Updates Week of September 21

 

IMPORTANT: Student Security and Privacy

Please read this important information!  Student Security and Privacy


New Laptop Tips

Are you having issues with video freezing during Meets? Try this suggestion from WCPSS - Network Setting for IPv6    Also, be sure that you are RESTARTING (not shutting down) your laptop at least once a day. This will push out updates, including performing an automated Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter. 

Are your eyes weary from staring at the screen? Try setting your laptop to Night Light.

Library Book Check Out is here! 

Please share this information with your students and families - Steps for Book Circulation and eBook Check Out  We will email students when their books are ready. As we begin this new process, please give us any feedback or suggestions as we'll be working to improve the process as needed. 

***Please do not take books from the library without letting us know. Now that students and staff are able to place books on hold, it will be very frustrating if someone has taken a book and it's not on the shelf. Additionally, we have a book quarantine process so we want to make sure all books stay clean. If you need books, feel free to place them on hold through Destiny OR send a text to Elizabeth or Andrea with a picture of the barcode. Thanks!
