Update: May 2nd, 2025
As we continue our district-wide technology migration, we wanted to share a few important updates and reminders with all staff. Please review the following update.
1. Cisco Webex Activation for District Deskphones
Staff members who have a district deskphone (not personal devices) will receive a Cisco Webex activation email before the end of the month. This email will contain instructions to activate your account.
Action Required:
- Activation must be completed within 15 days of receiving the email.
- We will communicate directly with affected staff, including details on what to look for and what to expect.
2. Google Chrome Extensions Survey for District Devices
If you use a district-provided computer (Windows, Mac, or Chromebook) and rely on extensions in Google Chrome, please complete the following survey:
This is necessary because, as we migrate away from the ISD’s Google environment into Western’s own, the technology department needs a list of required extensions. This will ensure your extensions are available when you receive your devices this summer.
3. Building Presentations: Google Migration Process
The technology department has scheduled times with each building during the week of May 5th to provide a brief presentation covering the migration process for Google services (including email and Drive).
During these sessions:
- Staff will receive information and instructions on next steps.
- Migration details will be shared.
