Teen PC Issue
Hello,
Recently we have had a student using the Teen PCs (usually 1-3 along the
wall) and the Envisionware "timer" mysteriously disappears. You will notice
the PC will say "Offline" when using the staff PC Reservation software. I
am not sure exactly what he is doing - but he is working off of a USB drive.
Please walk up to him and inform him the PC must be rebooted (he does this
right away). I informed him that if he is doing anything to disable our
software he won't be allowed to use the PCs. I don't believe he is doing
anything particularly bad, other than tampering with our software (which is
expressly forbidding in the acceptable use policy) Linda is aware of the
student's name and the situation.
Please pass this on to Part-time staff.
Thanks,
Ryan

Funny Questions About the Summer Reading Club
I have gotten some humorous questions regarding the Summer Reading Club. Here are a few:
Don't I get that folder?
What's a stylus?
I get those books as a prize?
