End of Year Procedures - All Other Campuses

All Other Campuses:
1.    For campuses that are shutting down completely for the summer, teachers are urged to take their laptops home with them. If you use your laptop at home, be careful that you do not install any upgrades. This may cause your job-related applications to stop working.   
2.    Leave your keyboard, docking station and monitor in place.
3.    Networked printers should stay plugged in but turned off.
4.    Desktop computers (both PC and Apple) need to be plugged in but turned off.
5.    Leave all Classroom Based Technology devices plugged and stored in the charging cabinets.
6.    All other technology items such as document cameras should be stored and locked.
7.    All classroom based devices remain in the room as devices are assigned to the room, not the teacher.
8.    For damaged devices, submit work tickets on these devices and they will be repaired if the damage is repairable.
9.    Macbooks should be stored in their charging carts and the carts plugged into an electrical outlet. 
10.    Leave Macbooks and iMacs turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet
11.    Computers in COWs need to be connected and the COW itself should be plugged into an electrical outlet. Make sure that keys to the cabinets are available to allow summer work.
12.  ActivBoard Procedures:

• Put your pens and wands inside of your ActiVote/ActivExpression case for safe storage over the summer.
• Take the batteries out of your ActiVotes/ActivExpressions while stored. This keeps the batteries from exploding and corroding in the warm temperatures.
• Wipe your boards with a clean, soft towel that is lightly damp to get smudges off. For any stubborn smudges, you can lightly spray your towel with whiteboard cleaner and wipe away those marks.
• Lock up all ActiVotes, hubs, remotes, ActivPens, document cameras and webcams.
• Disconnect the ActivBoard cables from the docking station and coil the cables behind the ActivBoard.

13.  If your campus has large scale floor cleaning during the summer, your campus principal can coordinate with the Customer Service Department on how to facilitate this process.
