IF YOUR PHONE EXTENSION HAS CHANGED, OR YOU ARE NEW--- this announcement is for YOU!

Let's make sure your extension updated in our records and set up a new voicemail message! You are official!

1. Next time you call someone, ask them if YOUR NAME came up on their display. If it DIDN'T, please put in a tech support ticket saying "Please update my phone extension to #### (but actually type the numbers)" and that number will get assigned to you.
2. Set up your voicemail message so people know they reached you. Click on that image to the left to see the steps, or open the guide below.

This link is always down in Flashback News, but since it is the beginning of the year, let me put it front and center for ya--- all the info about all the things. Open it up. It just might answer some questions.

Here are two common errors---

1. Don't have students Google to find a link when the link is on the school website. Many times, the link is specific to our district (eg Accelerated Reader/Renaissance Place) and a google link doesn't work
2. If you use Pearson Realize--- Your class is automatically rostered for you in Pearson. If you choose to use the Google Classroom button, you will have two classes. Make sure you use the same class everytime. So, be attentive.

Is running laps part of your regular PE routine with your students? There is a program that will generate QR Codes for your students and they use an iPad to scan the code for every lap. You need (a) runners (b) an iPad or two--- and (c) to let me know so I can generate the QR codes for you.

Sounds like a fun math application for students to know how many laps they run in a week/month and calculate the distance. Send me an email if you are interested. (Hi! I'm Liz lhoppe@hueneme.org)

If you are still rocking the original iPad 4 that doesn't update anymore, this may be your last chance to update.

Also-- if you are a certificated employee with a contract who should have a mobile device, but never received one, this is for you, too!

You need to complete this form in the month of September, and decide if you want to trade your current iPad for an updated iPad or a chromebook. We will take care of the rest and let you know when it is ready for you!

If this is you, don't pass it up. Now is the time. (Hey, you, reading this newsletter.... tell a few people you work with that they should read the newsletter too. It is what good friends do.)

Click the button below and do your thing.

Easy and done! Remember, this is the password to sign onto a district computer, sign into wifi, access your gmail, etc.

All passwords that haven't been changed in the last year will expire after Labor Day weekend. And with that--- we launch our "improved security-- reset your password at the start of every school year" program!

Are you one who wants step by step instructions to read? We got you! Click the image to the left and open it up! Hey, cool!

(But you know what I do? Whenever Q makes me change it, I go to the homepage to password reset and change my district one to the same thing. Because I like things to match.)
