“We continue to be pleased with the iConnect deployment for the schools that are completed,” said Dr. Anthony Jackson, Superintendent of Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools. “Our Technology department, administrators and school staff have worked together to ensure that everyone receives their device in an efficient manner. We are taking great care to make this transition seamless, and we are excited to report that we have now moved ahead of our schedule.”
Baskerville Elementary, Coopers Elementary, Johnson Elementary, Spring Hope Elementary, Edwards Middle, Nash Central Middle, Red Oak Middle, Rocky Mount Middle, Nash Central High, Northern Nash High, Southern Nash High, Rocky Mount High and Nash Rocky Mount Early College High are among the schools that are finished with the deployment as of the end of the day September 18.“As we complete more schools, we are able to streamline our processes,” said Jane Finch, Chief Technology Officer. “Issuing this number of devices was completely new for us this year, but we gain more experience with each deployment. At this point, we are much more efficient and comfortable with our routine.”
The deployment process for each school is now averaging less than a day, depending on the number of students at the school. Principals at each school have received a copy of the tentative schedule, which is adjusted daily, as needed, since some deployments may take shorter or longer than others.
Parents, students and educators are asked to remain patient as the technology and instructional teams work through the process to ensure every student receives his or her device in a timely, but precise manner.
