New Summerfield ISD Obsolescence Plan

New Summerfield ISD intends to maintain a cycle of upgrading and/or replacing hardware equipment and every 4 years. Obsolete items will be donated to charities, auctioned to bidders, or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. Approximately ¼ of all district technology resources will be on the last year of the cycle at any given time. All resources will be appropriately documented in New Summerfield ISD inventory system.

Gaggle.Net email

New Summerfield students who have been given parental permission for email will receive Gaggle accounts.

About Gaggle.Net

Gaggle is dedicated to providing safe e-mail accounts for students.  The tools we provide allow schools to finally feel secure when giving their students e-mail access.

On the Gaggle Network teachers control what can be written and who can correspond with the students.  Messages with inappropriate words are automatically re-routed to the teacher's account.  This allows the teacher to decide whether or not the student gets to see the message.
