Welcome Back From Your Technology Department !
As we embrace the end of summer and another exciting start to a new school year, please take a moment to catch up on some summer changes and review TTSD technology agreements for the year:
- If you are on a Mac laptop, you will see a message from "JAMF Connect" asking you to sign in with your FULL email and your TTSD password. If you have any trouble, see Resource #1 below.
- JAMF Connect is replacing "AdminByRequest" on Macs to elevate your access on your computer to install a printer and run updates.
- Why? Identified a less expensive tool to satisfy this requirement by our cyber security insurance (remove admin privileges on client computers)
- Resources:
- All Staff are required to review & sign the Staff Acceptable Use Policy & Data Confidentiality Agreement to ensure clear communicate and expectations on data & account responsibility:
- Changes to Elementary and Middle School Student Devices:
- After classroom teacher and school principal feedback, we have made some notable changes to our student 1:1 device setup. Notable changes:
- In Grades K-8:
- Backgrounds images are locked (same background for all students)
- Students cannot rearrange Apps on their screen
- Students cannot remove Apps
- Unused system apps removed (News, Stocks, etc)
- Internet Filter Changes:
- Elementary & middle school students have additional non-educational categories blocked.
- NO INTENTIONAL change to high school students or staff (* Upgrade to filter system over the summer may cause unintended changes - please submit a tech request if you run into any issues)
