READY for staff & teachers to update their iPads to iOS 11

Thank you for your patience in waiting to upgrade your iPad to the new operating system, iOS 11. 

We are READY for staff and teachers to update their iPads to iOS 11.  You may do this at home...by the end of next week, it will be available at school.  If you have a TTSD iPad, please upgrade your device as soon as possible.  

We will begin updating student iPads to iOS 11 next week and would like YOU to have yours updated first.

Print Shop Website Available from Home

We have recently increased the security of a few of our web sites, one of which was the Print Shop. During the upgrade we removed access from home.

As of today, the upgrade is complete, and you can submit your print jobs from home.

NetOp Update

As we implemented the 2000 Chromebooks this fall, we ran into a few issues with Netop where some students were not showing up in a teachers class. For the most part, the students impacted were not getting the Netop app on their Chromebook.  

We have since fixed this issue and believe the problem to be resolved. I encourage you to use the Netop Teacher tool and let us know if you run into any problems.

IF you have a student who is not showing in your NetOp Teacher class, please:

1. Have the student Sign Out (red button) and sign in again.  Then check your teacher computer.
2. If that doesn’t work, please ask the student’s email address and submit a tech request with this information for us to troubleshoot further (this step shouldn’t be necessary)

Please do NOT upgrade your Macs to OS 10.13 (...not yet)

Apple released two new OS: Macintosh OS 10.13 and iOS 11 (for iPads).

We currently have these upgrades blocked on our network so that we (IT Dept) may have time to test the new operating system with Synergy, Google Suite, our enterprise management systems and a variety of other software we count on each day.

Once we have tested the new operating systems, I will send a follow up email letting you know which devices are ready to update.  

Please note, this includes upgrading your teacher laptop while at home.  Please do NOT upgrade your teacher laptop to OS 10.13 at this time.

Thank you for your patience.

Newly imaged MacBook Air and iMacs- LOGIN

Over the summer, we transitioned to a more efficient means for imaging our Macs.  As a result, it's important to know when you use one of these imaged Macs

•  all elementary and middle school silver student MacBook Air mobile labs
• A few iMac computer labs in middle and high school
• ALL new teacher computers

To log in, click "Other" and type in your staff user account and password.  STUDENTS should use the account "student" and this password (CLICK FOR PASSWORD).

In the future, all Macs will operate this way.  The local teacher account and local student account (no password) will soon disappear from our environment,

If you have any questions, please submit a tech request,
