 * May 5, 2010

__Teacher Phones__: Training for LMITS and STS's on the new Unified Messaging Telephone begins this Friday, May 7th. Everyone from the team called Gaylene and given her the date and time they would be available for training. We received information yesterday for Information Systems that there was a week delay on the phones being shipped from California. They are now scheduled to be shipped on May 14, and should arrive here by the 17th. As quickly as they arrive the warehouse will begin distributing the units to the schools. As quickly as the telephones are received at your school teachers should receive training on the setup and use of the device. These telephone were purchase as part of the Lighthouse Grant and the grant guidelines require the installation before June 15.

__Annual Check Out__ It's time to prepare for ​the closing of the school year and the annual check out. I've attached a copy of the Instructional Technology [|Checkout Form] for you to review so we can get through the process as quickly as possible. __Teacher Usage Survey Deadline Is May 14.__ Here is the link to check on submissions for your school: []. As in the past, you need to have 90% of your teachers respond. I will email your current status on an individual basis. This count is for (certified) teachers and not for secretaries, aides, or other personnel who do not have a classroom. If you want to check the list for your school I am using the same FTE count for your schools that Dale Roberts sent out in his spreadsheet concerning phone placements.
