Reimaging Your Computer: Back it Up Our goal is to reimage all district desktops this summer, and we do not want you to lose any important files. Please back your computer up before leaving. Learn more at http://bit.ly/DISDBackup. | Leaving? May we Recommend Google Take Out? We hope you are not leaving us at Dickinson ISD, but we do understand that sometimes life takes you other places. For a smooth transition with all of your Google digital files, consider using Google Takeout.

We advise moving your files to Google Drive. It is a similar process to backing up your computer to upload a copy to Google. See more at http://bit.ly/DISDBackup. |
