Make sure your computer is updated
It is that time of year again when we are required to make some important upgrades/updates to our devices in order to make sure they are running at peak performance, continue to support increased security features, and enhance productivity.
11/23/21: If the update was not run already it will automatically trigger at 3:30 PM. Computers must be connected to WiFi, power, and with the lid open.
11/29/21: If the device hasn’t been updated over break, the upgrade will automatically begin upon the arrival to school.
Please take care of the update over break. Refer to communication sent this week via Skyward from the district regarding the update and steps to take.
