Welcome back
With a week off there will always be updates to your PC and Chromebook. Please be on the lookout for any "Update and Restart" or "Update and Shut Down" reminders on your desktops, laptops and Aquos Boards.
Your Chromebook will update *automagically* just by using it this week, so please take a moment to use it for a bit if you haven't recently.
Getting the latest updates protects the district from the bad guys and helps make everything run as smoothly as possible.
Updates & Upgrades
We recently upgraded our Genesis application service provider (ASP). This is a new high-performance hosted environment and you will experience improvements in overall site performance, reliability, and security. You will need to upgrade any shortcuts or saved bookmarks you have for all of your devices.
The new link is: https://genesis.c1.genesisedu.net/southamboy
Our websites have already made the changes so you can always access Genesis there via the For Staff page.
Level Up your Skills
The Schoolytics Team hosts FREE workshops each week to help teachers level up their data stills. Sessions happen weekly. Sign up here.
Google Search Tip
Use “-”
A hyphen “-” will exclude the word following it.
For example, if you want to find non-apple laptops, you could search “laptops -apple”.
Did you know?
A billion gray folders isn't exactly inspiring or easy to naviagate.
Color code your folders:
- Right click on a folder
- Select 'change color'
- Choose your color
Now you can easily see and categorize in a way that works for you.
