Canby Technology
A guide for new staff
So...my computer is on fire...what do I do?
Every school in CSD has a dedicated Building Technology Specialist. Reach them via our help desk (preferred) or email -- and they'll assist with any issue you might have.
Here's how to reach them:
Uh....I get a Mac?
Every certified staff member in CSD receives a MacBook Air as their dedicated device. If you're new to Mac, work with your building technician to get some basics...there's a slight learning curve if you're used to Windows -- but you got this!
To make sure we know who has which device, and what you're responsible for register your laptop here.
Let Us Remind You!
The Canby School District will start using Remind this year. Remind is a tool that allows for two-way communication with students and parents without using your personal phone number.
