ITS & EdTech Updates
ITS Separation Information - Staff & Students
For staff members who are leaving the District (now or at the end of the school year), they need to make sure they've followed the steps below before their last day of employment.
- Return all devices (laptop, cell phone, hotspot). Workstations stay installed at the work location.
- Download or Transfer all files and export Canvas content (if applicable).
These steps should be started a few weeks before the last day of employment to ensure everything has been completed before then and so they can reach out for assistance if needed.
Graduating seniors can transfer their content in a similar way. Please see the information linked below for detailed steps and reach out to ITS with any questions.
3189 Deactivation
At the end of summer, the remaining 3189s in circulation will be deactivated. At that time, staff members who are still using those devices will need to put in a ticket for an updated device. Staff members may continue to use these devices until they are deactivated.
