1 to 1 Re-imaging

Dear parents,
 
During the first few weeks of term two, the school's ICT technician will commence reimaging all year four, five and six student 1 to1 MacBooks. This process will result in all 1 to 1 MacBooks in the school having the same software and settings which will ensure a more efficient 1 to 1 program and reduced technical issues for students.
 
The reimaging process will delete all data that is stored on the MacBook so it is essential that all student data and work is backed up on a USB stick or external hard drive before the computer is reimaged. Please note that 'Time Machine' backups are not an appropriate backup format for this process. (please see Keith should you require more information about this)
 
We are asking that parents ensure that their students data is backed up as soon as possible so that the reimaging process can run quickly and smoothly and loss of student data can be avoided.
 
Thank you,
 
Keith McNeill
1 to 1 MacBook Coordinator
