In alignment with the Central Office Reoccupation Plan and the Return to the Workplace Health and Safety Guide, Central Office staff must follow the procedures below when requesting technology support. 

There are several reasons for the decision to bring staff back a week prior to students. The week will provide the opportunity for staff to set up their classrooms, receive support for technology challenges upon returning to the building, and become accustomed with new signage around the building so they may be able to properly direct students upon their return.

Additionally, the time will allow staff to become familiar with the measures in place to adhere to the CDC's guidelines around health and safety and ask questions or raise concerns they have.

Staff should work with their school administrators/supervisors to determine the necessary technologies needed to perform work duties.
