DPS Install IT Day
Over the course of the summer (2007), the DPS Technology Department will be working hard to install almost 600 new computers across the school district. Our goal is to install these computers by the time school starts, but budget limitations make it difficult to meet this goal. After some serious brainstorming, we have decided to ask the community for support for a “high tech” barn raising of sorts, we call it Install I.T. (Information Technology) Day. Here's how it works. In mid July, once we have the computers delivered to the buildings, we will hold an Install I.T. Day at each school building during which we will ask YOU to volunteer your time to help the school unpack, place, and connect new computers as well as breakdown the older machines. Here is the schedule:

During the Install I.T. Day each volunteer will be given a demonstration of how we'd like the process completed along with a checklist of the tasks to make it very easy to follow (you won't need to be a geek to help out!). Each volunteer will be asked to donate one day of their time (you will be able to pick the building when you are signing up). Lunch will be included (pizza). Please click here to sign up! Details will then be sent to volunteers via e-mail.
Please plan to join us for this very worthwhile event and help us have the latest technology available to your children when they return in the fall. As always, your participation is greatly appreciated! Please contact the DPS Technology Department with any questions about Install I.T. Day.
