The Farmington Municipal Schools Department of Technology is working to provide our staff and community with information pertaining to technology in the district.
Understanding that the constant improvement in district technology requires some element of re-training we will be working towards providing up to date training and reference material here. The Unified Communications system (OpenText's FirstClass voice and electronic e-mail), the new phone system (Cisco IP Phones), user security, personal Homework Hotline web pages, electronic gradebooks with parent access to attendance and grades (PowerSchool) and centralized data access all require upgrades, updates and training.
Our district has standardized on Apple's OS X technology. For users who are unfamiliar with OS X we encourage you to discover the power and versatility of this new operating system from Apple by visiting their website containing tips, tricks and features.

Student Laptop Distribution
All orientations for new students to receive their laptops will be done at the student's school. Parents do not need to attend this orientation.
1. Parents are no longer required to attend laptop orientations. We will post the orientation online and parents who are interested can view it at their leisure.
2. Students are still required to view the orientation. This will now take place at the school and will be handled by campus technology staff (and/or STAT students) at specific times determined by the school. (Note: At the start of each school year, ALL students in the FLI grades will be required to view the orientation as a refresher. This can be done during the first days of school.)
3. When students in grades 6-9 enroll at school, they should be handed a copy of the laptop agreement. The signed agreement needs to be turned in to the office whenever the laptop fee is paid.
4. Payment of the $25 laptop fee will be handled by office staff at the school.
5. Laptops will be issued by campus tech staff following the receipt of the contract and completion of the orientation.
Personal Technical Support on District Laptops
We will provide additional technical support to staff with a district provided laptop during our Satruday Support hours of 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (except for holiday weekends). Please check our calendar below for technical support schedules. Please note that we have changed (reduced) our support hours on Saturday. The new hours are 10:00am to 12:00pm.
