    MISSION

    The mission of the Vernon Parish Schools Technology Department is to support and encourage the integration of and the successful application of educational technology into the areas of curriculum, instruction, and administration.

    Technology Department

    The VPSB Technology Department supports the processes involved in teaching and learning, business procedures, and administration in the district while using technology.  Part of our expectation is engagement in ongoing, life-long learning to make yourself the best that you can be for your career in education. We encourage you to continue to sharpen your skills and learn the tools of your trade.

    The Support Process

    1) Self Help – Please take the time to think about the issue you may be having. Sometimes restarting a program, app, browser, or device will do the trick.  Are all of the cables plugged in to the correct places? Have you turned the device on?

    2) Partner Help – We have carefully chosen the partners (some may call them vendors) for the product that they offer, as well as the support that they provide in support of their product. Please utilize these offerings as you continue down the path of lifelong learning.

    3) Technology Department Support –  We utilize One to One Plus for support tickets.  If you have tried #1 and #2 and still have an issue that needs attention, please submit a ticket.  All we ask is that you use your words and explain the issue just as you would ask a student to write a paper, solve an equation, or execute a play.  We will respond as quickly as we can, do the best we can, and help you get back on track.
