Technology Reminder

Reminder for Hauser students and parents:

Need help with that end-of-the year technology-based project?
Don’t forget that the computer lab is open before school from 7:50 to 8:40 each morning, during advisory period every day, and after school from 3:20 to 4:10 except on Friday. A teacher is in the lab to provide any needed assistance.

Need to take a file home to work on?
The best solution is to bring a USB flash drive to copy the file on to. See Mrs. Whaley if you need any help. Student files on the Hauser server can only be accessed from school and not from home.

Need help printing a project?
It is best to print from the computer lab or one of the mobile labs in the library. Mrs. Whaley or Mrs. Julian are available to help.
These three steps will help:

1. Send the print command.
2. Pick up your print job.
3. Then you can log out of your computer and put it away.

Graduation is a special milestone in the lives of Hauser’s students.  The formal graduation ceremony is a time for us to celebrate accomplishments in a manner that honors all students.  We respectfully request that all parents and guests refrain from acknowledging individual students during the ceremony.  Ample time will be provided for audience members to recognize the class as a whole.  Please arrange to leave any balloons at home, as they will not be permitted in the auditorium

On behalf of the Hauser staff, please accept our best wishes.  It has been a joy and a privilege to work with your child at Hauser.  If you have any questions regarding graduation procedures, do not hesitate to contact me.
