TECH TIPS
Teacher Web Presence
In March 2018, all campus websites will migrate from NetStart to School Messenger, the same system used by the KISD website that went into effect at the start of the year. If you have not made a Google Site and filled out the Google Form please contact me so we can set up a department meeting or a personal meeting to get this done. I promise it takes no more than five to ten minutes.
