- Ms. Clement was in an auto accident. She is ok and was here today. Coach Mills has a child going through some medical issues. Please check on both as you see them over the next couple of days.
- There was a bad T-storm that went through this area last Friday night. It caused a power surge and/or lightning strike in our village. Three issues have occurred. 1. The 2nd fire alarm panel was hit causing B24-29 alarms to signal. That has been turned off and now repaired by Cintas. The second issue revolves around one of our switches. A switch is used to transfer information from our servers to portables. It is like our central nervous system. That switch has 48 ports/connections with cables going to portables to computers and phones. Rodney has moved those cables to a secondary switch; however, EACH of the 48 cable ports must be reconfigured in order to communicate through the secondary switch. That is not a simple plug and play solution. The third issue involves our phone system. Our phones use the internet to communicate and used the bad switch. Each of the phone ports on the switch end must be reconfigured to the secondary switch. This will take some time so thank you for being patient.
