ES Technology Update August 2022

 Esteemed Colleagues,


It was great to see you in my session this morning. I am looking forward to a great year collaborating with you in your classroom and the makerspace. A big thank you to the tech team members who had a very busy summer preparing for the opening of school.


Here are a few reminders from the tech department this year:

  • Help Desk is now the tool for requesting tech support (not the technology email).

  • Student devices will remain on campus.

  • Parents will be completing an acceptable use agreement in PowerSchool acknowledging that they are responsible for damage and loss of school devices (and we will be charging for damage).

  • The Acceptable Use Policy is now called the Responsible Use Agreement (but we will continue to use both titles).

  • We now have class sets of Ozobots, Spheros, & Botleys. Let's code!

  • Click on the new icons on your desktop if you haven't tried them already.

  • Introduce yourself to Yus when you see him.

  • More about the makerspace soon.


Below are some important links that I think you will find useful:

I am looking forward to a stellar year collaborating with you. Below are the results of the survey from my session:

In solidarity,

Now that you are back on campus you might get the "Backend failed" message when trying to print. There is a simple solution to this on your new MacBook that you can do in a few seconds. 



1. Click the ISKL logo at the top of your screen and select Install Software...


2 Click on Scripts and then to the right of Backend Failed click Uninstall.



3. When the button changes to Install, click it. Wait until the install finishes and try printing again.
