Android Reimaging

As of 12/20 the district is starting to reimage android devices. This reimaging will help to make the androids more functional by updating and adding new apps to the basic image. Along with improved functionality, we have added the new wifi network so connectivity issues are greatly improved. Your tablets will be completely ST Math ready. We also have gain the ability to push out apps from the playstore and directly add webclips/shortcuts to your homescreen (by Principal request). Use the links below to take a sneak peek at the new layout and begin exploring some of the available options:

ST Math

The district will be reimaging ALL android devices to update applications, improve functionality, and accomodate the changes needed for ST Math. More information on that is coming. However, if you are eager to get started now, you may choose to update your androids yourself using the following job aides. This is not a required task, and is completely voluntary.
