Mac Cart/iPad Cart
The Mac Cart is currently not charging. I'm hoping to have someone out to take a look at it. In the meantime, you are welcome to take a few macs at a time with their chargers (Please just check them out with me). Unfortunately, the cart just isn't charging them. They will charge on their own with an outlet. I will keep you posted.
Just a reminder, we no longer have an iPad cart with a class set of iPads. All of the iPads have been distributed to homeroom classrooms.
NEW GALILEO PASSWORD (as of 1/5/16)
They do not need a password while at school.
