• A technician from the Technology Department should set up your computer for you with the basic applications you need. He will also set up your email account, and configure files in your Documents Folder to be backed up to the school's server. He can also make sure that any student computers in your classroom are ready for use.
• If you are having trouble with your computer, student computers, or printers, please contact your site rep and have them submit a Tech Request. To help speed resolution of the problem, please do the following before submitting a request.

1. Check all connections (power, network, printer cables, etc.) and make sure all power strips used are plugged in and switched on.
2. Check with a colleague to determine if the problem is isolated to your equipment or is a larger problem.
3. Restart your computer, log back in and check to see if the problem persists.

• Privacy: All computer use at school and/or through the district servers and email system should be for work related purposes and should not be considered private.
• Content Filters: To comply with federal E-Rate regulations, SMUSD employs a content filter on all web access. Filtering can result in some good sites being blocked. Please direct requests to "unblock" a website to the Technology Department through your principal.
• Legal Requirements: As mentioned above, the Technology Department is required to filter email content. This too will sometimes block email from commercial senders or others due to the content of their message. If you would like to manage your own white-listing and black-listing of email, follow this link for directions.

  • Schools subject to CIPA are required to adopt and enforce a policy to monitor online activities of minors.
