Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday and weekend! If you have any questions, please stop by the computer lab.
Google Bootcamp - Due to low number in registration, The Google Bootcamp has been postponed. We hope to have a new date for you soon. If you registered, you can ask for a refund or wait until the new date is advertised.
Read&Write for Google: Just a reminder that students in grades 3-5 can access Read&Write for Google using their Wayland Google Apps account. Last year a few second graders also benefited from Read&Write so we set up their google accounts for them. If you need assistant getting this going with any of your students, please let me know. I have some login directions and tip sheets in the Read&Write For Google folder. Technology Committee: The Technology Committee is meeting on Tuesday, September 27th in the computer lab from 3:30 - 4:30. We will be discussing device needs for each grade level as Leisha would like to firm up our needs as planning for next year's budget has begun. If you'd like to provide input, please see your grade level rep or see me directly. All are welcome to attend and contribute to our discussion.

Use the link under For Staff or under Quick Links. Please fill in the fields (your email, issue category, asset tag number, room #, building, summary, and description of issue) as shown in the image below.
If you submit a ticket via WPS Help Desk, you will get email responses along the way to keep you updated on the process of your request. For example that your ticket has been opened, that your ticket was assigned to someone, that your ticket has been closed... We are excited about this new tool in facilitating and communicating help issues.
