    2. Work Station Security

    Do you walk away from your desk or your office without locking your computer? It only takes a few seconds for someone to do serious damage to your computer or your files or to access information on the computer. It takes only a few seconds to secure your computer. Take the time to lock your computer when you leave your desk. Not sure how to do it? Mac OS Computer Lock How To. On a PC before leaving your computer press Control + Alt + Delete.

    Due to the number and complexity of the technologies in schools today, the issue of security has become a much more salient topic. As schools begin to network computers and peripherals to each other; neighbor classrooms, wide area networks and the Internet, the administration and teachers are increasingly aware of the need for security within their systems.  Please contact the Computer Services department at 225-0744 if you feel your computer access has been compromised.  If you feel PowerTeacher/ PowerSchool has been compromised contact our PowerSchool Administrator at 247-2139.
