Windows Security Problem

A security problem has been discovered for Windows which can be affected through websites or email.  We have blocked the affected file types with our firewall, but you should still be cautious. As in all cases, do not open attachments you are not expecting, even from people you know. Until a patch is available, I would stay with familiar and trusted websites, and avoid all questionable websites.
A Microsoft Patch will be automatically installed at noon Friday, January 6th. Windows 2000 and XP computers will restart automatically if the option is not canceled at that time. Windows 98 computers will have to be updated manually using Internet Explorer! Click here for instructions to update Windows 98 computers!

MLK and OnCourse Reports!

See the What's New and the Technology Tip to the right for some good information and links to Martin Luther King and instructions for the WONDERFUL OnCourse Reports!

New Website Look

We are currently working on the website. Some of the links and information may be moved to a new location. We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope the new look and design will make it more pleasing and easier to use. All links will eventually be returned to our site. Should you not find a page you need, please let us know!

Problems With On Course

Several users have reported problems accessing the On Course Lesson Planner site as well as general problems with  Internet Explorer. We've identified that the cause in all cases thus far is due to the user having installed either the Yahoo Tool Bar, HotBar, Viewpoint, WeatherBug, or other 3rd party software. These programs must be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
