Computers Available
With the arrival of the new laptops in Room 5 the school is now able to ‘retire’ the old desktop computers used in the school up till now. These machines are getting on for over ten years old and while they will still run older software they will no longer support the applications we typically run at school.
The computers have a negligible value (assuming you could find someone willing to buy such old pieces of technology!) and the Board of Trustees has decided to give these machines away to the families of the school. We have a total of 12 computers, six with flat screen monitors and six with older style CRT monitors. We also have some extra CRT monitors and a number of older printers.
This equipment will be given away on a ‘first in, first served’ basis, one computer and/or printer per family.
Please note, due to the conditions of our software licence the drives of the computers have been cleared and you will need to install your own software. Due to their hardware configuration the machines will only run Windows XP or earlier operating systems (e.g. Windows 95) and Office 2003 or earlier (although they may run Office 2007 with some minor ‘glitches’) office applications. For the technically savvy they are 1.5GHz processors with 1GB of RAM.
Reminders
Just a few reminders which may seem minor, but are important for school safety and routines.
If your child is not going to be on the bus after school please either note it on the bus sheet or ring the office.
If your child misses the bus and you bring him/her to school late, please let Ruth know at the office.
If you call in to the school please make sure you sign in and out in the book at the office window counter.
Lastly, staff are happy to heat up food for the children which goes in the oven, but we do not have time to prepare noodles, soup or other foods which require any preparation.
