Welcome to the Technology Department link. We are located in the Middle
School in rooms 13 & 14. This is the main location for all the
district's servers. We are very excited about the new phone system and
other technology that we have integrated summer 2007.
Use the links at the left to gather information and send request forms
to our department. Please follow all the steps below in regards to
maintenance and printer cartridge requests.
Repairs: The first step
that you take if you feel that you have a problem with your technology
components is to contact your campus technician. Elementary- Dawn Gage (
gaged@communityisd.org),
Middle School - Melissa Massey (
masseym@communityisd.org),
High School- Mary Long (
longm@communityisd.org)
These staff members have a wealth of technology knowledge and can
usually take care of troubleshooting your problems. If they are unable
to fix the issue then they will tell you to submit a maintenance
request.
Please do not stop Mr. Coleman in the hall or send
him an email to ask him to troubleshoot a repair that has not had
a maintenance request submitted. We only have one technician for all of
the district's technology equipment and he will respond to your request
in a timely manner.
Printer Cartridge Request:
All printer cartridges are obtained through the
technology department. You will need to fill out the form on the left
menu and a cartridge will be sent to you through the district mail.
Mass printing should not be done on your personal printer, but
should be sent to the campus copier. The driver for that copier was
loaded on your computer summer 2007. Please do not request
a cartridge until you know that your cartridge is empty. Please do not
send multiple requests. If we are temporarily out of a cartridge then
one will be sent to you as soon as the shipment comes in.
Software Updates:
Periodically you will be sent an email with
complete directions for installation. It is your responsibility (as
outlined on your signed Acceptable Use Policy) to install these updates
in a timely manner. If you have questions/problems regarding that
install then you should contact your campus technology contact.
Star Chart: E
very
year we have a Texas Education Agency mandatory Star Chart submission.
As soon as I get information about the submission dates I will send out
an email with an overview and link. This submission has a mandatory
deadline that all staff members must adhere to.
Inventory: N
ormally
inventory submissions are made at the end of the year. Starting
2007-2008, all submissions will be made in the month of October. This
submission has a mandatory deadline that all staff members must adhere
to.
Computer Care & Responsibilities:
Y
ou are responsible for all the
technology equipment in your office/classroom. Please be sure to keep
all equipment dust free and clear of clutter. No equipment should
be covered (ex. dust cover) while turned on as this can be a fire
hazzard. I have canned air that can be sent to you upon request.
