The district Website contains useful information about the district, news and updates about district events, and links to building Websites and teacher Web pages. It is also the entry point for teachers to their Notes e-mail and teacher utilities and to Schoolwires, the Web utility for teacher Web pages.

With Notes Web Access, you can walk up to a Web browser anywhere and perform many tasks, even from home. You can send and receive mail, view your calendar, invite people to a meeting, create an item for your to do list, access your contact list, or work offline.

Web access to Notes is gained by clicking on the "Staff Access" link located on the Hamburg Schools homepage, www.hamburgschools.org.

  • The logon is first initial + last name. The password is the one you used when you filled out the E-mail Request Form.
User Support Center

The User Support Center is an on-line tool by which you are able to request services from the Hamburg Central School District's Technology Department.

District staff should use the User Support Center to request equipment repairs, software installation, training, technical support or any of the other services that the Technology Department provides.

Click on "ENTER the User Support Center."

  • From the Main User Menu, click on "Create a New Incident".
  • A blank Support Incident Log form will appear.

Please enter as much information as possible. All of the "red-checked" fields are required fields. You will not be able to submit your support requests without providing information in the required fields. The required fields are:

  • Requestor Name - You must select your name from the address book.
  • One Line Description - Briefly state your request.
  • Category - Select the category from the menu that best describes your need..
  • Severity - Be realistic and select the appropriate description.

When you have completed the form, you must click on the Save & Exit button on the top of the screen to complete the request.

Once your job has been assigned to a member of the technology staff, you will receive an e-mail notification and will be able to view your request and track its progress by viewing "My Open Incidents" from Main User Menu.

When you double click on My Open Incidents, a list of all the open work orders requested by you will appear. If you double click on a particular request, you may view the details of that individual request, including information provided by the Technology Department personnel.

This link allows teachers to reserve rooms (cafeterias, auditoriums, libraries, computer labs) and equipment for their students.
 
This link allows faculty to post and purchase items and engage in social conversations. It is greatly preferred that items offered for sale or purchase be posted here rather than circulated through e-mail to the entire district mail list.
 
This link provides an electronic means of submitting print request. You are strongly encouraged to send digital files for classroom duplication to the Print Shop.
 
Help Files
Help files are collected to assist users to understand the various electronic tools that are available in the district.

Schoolwires - Teacher Web Pages

The Hamburg district Web page is built using a content management application named Schoolwires. This tool allows users to effectively create and manage district, building, and individual level Websites. Teachers and other staff members can create and manage their individual Web pages within the structure of Schoolwires.

At the time of employment, a user id is established for you. In order to work within Schoolwires or view non-public areas of the district Intranet, you will need to sign-in. Each building has a Web Page Manager who will help you and get you started.

More information about the Web page and the policies regulating its use can be found at: www.hamburgschools.org/technology

eSchoolData - Web Attendance and Grading

eSchoolData is a web-based student information system in which teachers can access information about their students, their schedules, contact information, and other demographic information. Attendance for all schools is to be taken here and quarterly grades are to be entered (HS& MS only in 2008-2009). An electronic grade book is built-in and can be used to collect and compile all grades.

eSchoolData can be accessed off the Main Hamburg Web page or you may bookmark:

Please contact the Technology Office, located in Union Pleasant School (646-3213), if you have any questions related to technical support or integration of technology into your classroom. Thank you.
