Training & Support

The IT Department prides itself on the quality training and support we provide for classified and certificated staff members. Each month we train hundreds of users in Zangle, PeopleSoft, and Excel. Additionally, we offer two types of support: the Help Desk provides technical support via phone and the On-Site Support staff members will come to your school to assist with Zangle and Encore. The table below identifies each group’s function, when you should contact them, how to reach them, and where they are located.
