Educators
You Are Here:  Home  Departments  Educational Services  Technology  Educators
The Technology department believes that all Washington Unified staff are educators - from our bus drivers, technicians, and para-educator to our cabinet level management. As such, the resources on this page are for all Washington Unified staff in order to provide a place to go for just in time support or when a human is not available to assist.
 
As a first time visitor to this page, we recommend beginning with the "Interactive Tech Hub" as your launching point.

Interactive Tech Hub

  3. Click on the New Incident button and add your information. 
  4. Priority levels: · 
    • High – Your class cannot function without immediate help - URGENT 
    • Medium – Your class can function, but you need the issue looked into in the next day or two - CRITICAL 
    • Low – Your class is functioning fine, however, you need someone to look at this issue within the next week – IMPORTANT 
    • Normal – Your class is functioning fine, however you have a non-urgent, non-critical issue that needs our attention - NORMAL
  5. Purchase Requests: Please let us order your equipment for you! This ensures that it will work on our network and provides you with the best pricing available. To order any equipment or software, we will need a budget code before processing. 
  6. Provide a description of the problem you are experiencing. Providing as much detail as possible will be very helpful. Details could include the location of the issue, a specific computer name/number, and what you were doing prior to having the issue. 
  7. Click Add Request and your ticket will enter the queue for the designated technician.
Student Password Resets
If a student needs a password reset, please call or email Christy Jourdan with the student’s first name, last name, and 5 digit lunch number. In most cases, we are able to accommodate this need in real time to best help you and your students! Christy’s email address is cjourdan@wusd.k12.ca.us and her phone extension is 1411.

We are here to serve you and your students, so please let us do so by using the Help Desk Ticket system!
