Creating a footprint allows you to put a request in when something on your computer or on the school iPads doesn't work.
We recommend that you ask one of the tech committee members or an administrator first to ensure it isn't something that can be fixed at the school level.
If nothing can be done, then it's time for you to create a footprint.
Here are the steps:
1) Go to the VSB site. Click on the Staff tab. This is what you'll see.
