Reimaging Plan: Every Computer Must Be Reimaged

Posted on by
Update Software

There’s a new computer image for all ACPS staff and students! The technology department created a stakeholder group to inform the creation of a robust, efficient computer image. Our goal is to reimage all ACPS technology before the start of the new school year. This will provide all employees with an equitable computer image for collaboration and consistency, and also help to ensure your laptop stays safe and virus free.

This reimage will take about half a day, so please plan to be without your computer during that time; we can provide a loaner computer if needed. We are flexible and will work with you and your schedule. Continue reading →
