Laptop Replacements: I need to replace all Acer Aspire E1-572-6459 and Acer TravelMate P253-M-6834 laptops. My inventory is not as accurate as I would like it to be, so if you have one of these laptops, please let me know. According to my inventory, below is a list of staff that have one of these laptops.

Brian Campbell, MaryBeth Reichelderfer, Bradley Sargent, Nate Smith, Jody Tate, Tammie Wooten, Michelle Fraley, Billie Rhoads and Shannon McKibben.

If you do not see your name and have one of the laptop models, please let me know so I can get you on a list and work on a replacement schedule.

If you do see your name, please schedule an appointment with me by going to https://calendly.com/john-rundag. My schedule for the week 2 weeks is:

Monday, January 6: HS/MS
Tuesday, January 7: HS/MS (meeting from 10am-12pm)
Wednesday, January 8: Laurelville
Thursday, January 9: Pickaway
Friday, January 10: HS/MS
Monday, January 13: Salt Creek
Tuesday, January 14: Washington
Wednesday, January 15: HS/MS (out of district from 8am to 11:30am for a meeting)
Thursday, January 16: schedule an appointment and I will be there.
Friday, January 17: schedule an appointment and I will be there.

Joining all laptops to Active Directory: During the school year, I will be joining all district-owned laptops to our active directory domain. This will make it easier to push out updates and have better security. Students should not be on staff laptops, as less content is being filtered for staff. If you do not enter your username and password (username is first.last), your laptop is not joined to the domain. It may say Logan Elm User and you just click on the sign-in button. If your laptop needs joined, please schedule an appointment with me by going to https://calendly.com/john-rundag. My schedule for the next 2 weeks is above, but this can be completed remotely as well.

Inventory: I have started updating the inventory of technology.  If I come in your classroom and want me to come back another time, please tell me. I won't be offended. I can move on to another room. If chromebooks are in use, I will come back another time (lunch, recess, specials, after hours).
