Update Your Staff Directory Profile

One of our district goals is to make sure our website stays up-to-date. The staff directory is one of the most accessed areas of our site and we need your help in making sure your profile is current. Please take the time to login and add or review your information based. Use this punch card (checklist) to make sure you have included all the required content. To assist in the process, there is a step-by-step written guide and a video tutorial.

Please make sure your staff profile is updated by September 21. Thank you for updating your contact information to help our families reach you.

Clevertouch Resources

We are excited to be piloting Clevertouch interactive panels this school year. We have at least one board at each building to be used in classrooms throughout the school district. They operate without needing a projector which means no shadows or bulb replacement. The boards also have an easy to use menu that functions like tablet devices and phones you use. You don't even have to hook up a computer to use it, though you can. Here are some written resources from Clevertouch to get you started with the board for the start of the school year:

• Getting Started Guide
• Guide to Using Note
• Basic Function Guide

If you prefer to see the board in action, Birmingham Public Schools created a video tutorial series on using the Clevertouch boards. Check out their list of video tutorials:

Most of the Clevertouch boards are mounted on Copernicus iRover2 carts that are adjustable for younger students or for accessibility by using the remote stored on the back of the cart. The carts also have a laptop tray that can be setup in a few different locations on the cart. The cart also has protective arms that help protect the screen and make transporting the cart safer and easier, a built in power strip to keep cords organized, and brakes to ensure the cart stays in place. The storage tubs at the bottom of the cart help keep track of the flat panel remote, cleaning cloth, cords, and adapters that should remain with the device. 

               

I would be happy to come out to buildings to do a demo/training upon request. To setup a building demonstration, please email or call me with a day of the week and times that work well for you.

Mobility Print

Google’s cloud print can be slow and unreliable, so we are moving to Mobility Printing on our Chromebooks. See the directions below for using Mobility Print.

Click print on your document and the following print dialogue box will open.

Select the desired printer from the list and sign in to print. Staff usernames are first initial and last name (ex. kkrueger), student usernames are their login numbers (ex. 19000) and passwords are synced from computer/email credentials. You will have to sign into each printer you use every 60 days.
