IT TICKETING SYSTEM

Please follow network procedures for addressing IT issues by emailing helpdesk@amsschools.org or going to the SharePoint link https://amsschools.freshservice.com/support/tickets/new.

Not having an orderly fashion for submitted issues causes drops of quality in service, makes an unfair situation for teachers who used the system properly, and gives the technician a confusing environment to work in. I also understand that there are urgent situations when IT support can pause their current task and address hot items immediately. Here are a couple bullets that would fit this situation.

• Campus wide internet outage
• Ransomware attack/Cybersecurity Incident
• Helping with technical issues during an important event (for example, the technician trying to fix a microphone during an awards ceremony)

Most other issues can be addressed through our ticketing system, giving Elizabeth a sustainable working environment and gives educators a consistent experience with tech support. Also, this enables AIG to monitor metrics and provide accurate training for the technician.

Updates - Mr. Hodges

Last we started “Re-enrollment" for the remaining 2023-2024 school year. The window will be open from January 8th through January 29th but remember we cannot hold seats for scholars (seats are not guaranteed) it’s first come first served. We need our families to complete their application this week! So, please encourage our scholars to have their parents re-enroll them online or by stopping by the main office on campus this week.   

Classroom Incentives

We will award the first K - 2nd; 3rd – 5th; and 6th – 7th with awesome special treats! We also will be rewarding each homeroom with a POPCORN Party that obtain 100% re-enrollment within the first two weeks of open enrollment!!   

Continuing our efforts in fighting various viruses. Hygiene is our greatest weapon in the fight against them. That is why it is more important than ever to ensure clean working practices to fight against all viruses! So, if you see someone not following the protocol, please let us know.
