As we wind down these last few days, I thought this was a good time for a few reminders. If your room is being used for summer school, there really is little or no computer preparation for you. If your room is not being used, then you are responsible for breaking down and storing your computer materials. You might want to consider labeling cables and cords to make reassembly easier, especially if you are in a lab or 4TEC room. Feel free to use permanent marker on the back or underneath side to label your room number or name. If your classroom is being painted or tiled, keep that in mind as you are storing your station. Try to store the parts in your closet or in an area that will not be affected. Store small parts, mice, keyboards, cords in your desk or cabinet. Parts that are left loose and not locked away, tend to disappear more easily. If you are limited on space and can at least get your CPU into your closet, that would be more secure.
If you have surplus equipment that you no longer need, make sure to label it as such and then place it outside your classroom door after the last day of school. The Tech Department will come by and collect those items. If you have a projector and / or a smartboard in a room that is going to be painted, do your best to cover the items with plastic bags and tape. Make sure the items have cooled before covering with plastic 
The Tech Department would like to thank each of you for a great school year. We have many changes and projects over the summer. I will blog about them at some future date, but most are behind the scenes items. Have a great summer!
