Tech Team Track day plans

While you and the students are out testing your stamina at Track day, the tech team will be busy inside creating data backups of your computers. Every year we do a data backup before you head out for the summer, just incase something happens to your computers data.

The plan: Turn in your computer on Wednesday afternoon( if you can) so that the tech department can begin the backup process, if not then please turn your laptop in the morning of Track day. We will begin the backups in the order we receive them.

We will do as many backups as we can, in hopes of completing backups of all of them before you return in from the track day activities.

Once we have backed up your work materials from your computers we will return the computer back to your class. If we have not completed your backup before the end of the track day activities student computers will be available for use for the afternoon PD sessions. Please note that we will not be backing up personal files/images/music etc.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask any of the tech department members.
