District Personnel

Building Assistants

These staff members are often your first point of contact when something goes wrong with the technology in your classroom. In many cases, they will be able to take care of your tech problems, and if it is something that is outside their control, such as a network issue, they will pass it along to the NERIC technicians. Please remember that they have full teaching loads, so they may not be able to assist you immediately.
