Find the "Egg" and Win a Prize!
Find this image hidden in one of the videos or resources linked in this flyer. The first two CHS staff members to email Janna with the location of the "egg" win a prize.
Last month's winners were Lisa Dyer (World Language) and Jennifer Jendrzejczyk (English). Who will beat them this month?

Tidbit 3: Using the corporate phone directory
Are you always searching for your printout of the CHS directory? Do you want to be able to quickly call anyone in the district from any phone? Follow the video below to use the corporate phone directory. Note: If you come across errors in the directory, please send those to Aaron or David.

Do you need a tech trick or troubleshoot for an issue you are having? Do you have a tech tidbit to share?
We would love to hear from you! If you're having an issue that may be plaguing others or if you've come across something that might be helpful to the rest of the staff, please send it to Janna, and she'll get it in the next issue.
