Phones

Turn off call forward if you have it on over the summer. If you moved classrooms, you’ll need to reset your pin and greeting. All voice mail will also be forwarded to your email If you did not receive it or need any help, see Jason.

Display Settings

​

Check your Window P for duplicate and extend screen functionality. Ensure that your computer is the main display. This can be confusing. Seek assistance if necessary.

Display Settings for Subs

​

When preparing for a substitute or guest teacher, ensure that you duplicate your screen.

Google Classroom and Classroom Calendars

​

• Clean up old classrooms by returning work and archiving the classes if you did not in June. Click for video. Return all assignments so students become the owner. This is critical before you archive classes.
• Hide old classroom calendars from your view by clicking ‘Hide this calendar from the list.’ Click for video.
• When you create new classrooms, you will see the new features of Google Classroom that are arriving daily. Click for the most recent updates.

Security

​

• Passwords
• This is a good time to change your passwords and make sure you can get into all your accounts. DO NOT give ANYONE your passwords (not guest teachers) and do not leave them on your desk or screen. No one should have access to your accounts and you are ultimately responsible for the integrity of your account.
• Windows L locks your computer - Always lock your computer when leaving your room for security. Please use this feature.
• To sync your passwords, click control, alt, delete and change your password (it must be 8 characters). It’s good to change your password every 6 months or so. If you reset your password, it will make your computer log on match your Google account, and also your SchoolWires account. PowerSchool passwords must be done separately.

SchoolWires/Blackboard

​

Check your bio and picture. You should have these things on your pages

• Bio (picture, phone, email as well as a description of yourself)
• Classroom Page
• Google Classroom links if you’re using Google Classroom or Access to Assignments if you are not using Google Classroom - See this example. (Please let Anita or Kim know so we can add the Google Classroom links to your pages if you use Classroom.)
