The poignant aroma of freshly sharpened pencils fills the air and ushers in the 2010-2011 school year. Crisp new bulletin boards crowd the halls and classrooms are full of eager young learners. As you make your last minute preparations for the first week of school, here are some helpful tech-tips to get your year off to a great start.
Teacher Log In
This year we’re moving to Windows 7 and we know you’re going to be as excited as we are about the improved functionality and speed of the new operating system. That being said, things do look a mite different on your log in screen. In order to log in as a teacher, enter your LCISD username and password. Then click “Novell Login.” For more detail on how to change your context and get logged in, check out this simple cheatsheet.
Student Log In
Elementary students who have logged in by using “student” as their username must now use the word “student” followed by their campus number. The password will be “student.”
Elementary Campus | Student Log In |
Austin Elementary | Student76 |
Beasley Elementary | Student61 |
Bowie Elementary | Student62 |
Campbell Elementary | Student83 |
Dickinson Elementary | Student79 |
Frost Elementary | Student84 |
Hubenak Elementary | Student90 |
Huggins Elementary | Student70 |
Hutchison Elementary | Student85 |
Jackson Elementary | Student74 |
Jane Long Elementary | Student65 |
McNeill Elementary | Student87 |
Meyer Elementary | Student73 |
Pink Elementary | Student81 |
Taylor Ray Elementary | Student69 |
Seguin Elementary | Student82 |
Smith Elementary | Student67 |
Thomas Elementary | Student89 |
Travis Elementary | Student68 |
Velasquez Elementary | Student86 |
Williams Elementary | Student72 |
Secondary students will login using their student ID as their username and “111111” as their password. Once they login the first time, the system will ask them to change their password. It’s a good idea to have students write down that password somewhere safe in case they forget it.
Printing in a Pinch
Having trouble printing? As a temporary solution, you can use the Hot Spot printer on your campus. In a nutshell, the Hot Spot printer is a printer you access remotely through email or the web. You can submit a print job from any computer with internet access – even from home! Once you submit your print job, you’ll receive a print job code via email or the web. Then go to the Hot Spot printer on your campus and use the ten digit keypad to enter the code you were given. For details on how to get started choose one of the following links:

Need Tech Training?
Your CITS will be on campus to co-teach, coach, and consult with you for one (Elementary, Middle Schools and Junior Highs) or two (High Schools) days each week. Have a question about integrating technology in your classroom? Email your CITS directly or contact cits@lcisd.org.
Our schedule is as follows:
Need Tech Assistance?
If you’re struggling to get set up, and need support – the Technology Department is here to help! You can contact the Help Desk by calling ext. 0220 from your district phone or emailing helpdesk@lcisd.org. Our technicians are literally working around the clock to help make these first days of school as smooth as possible for you and our students.
We hope these links and ideas help make your first few days a little easier. Let us know how we can help you out as the year gets rolling!

Great post! I would have liked it a day or two earlier but hey I am not complaining. I had my students try and log in yesterday on the first day and was a little surprised that they couldn’t get in. Now I know why. Good info. I am trying to spread the word on my campus about icafe.lcisd.org. It amazes me how people act like they haven’t heard of it. I don’t think it is that they haven’t heard of it….I think they just haven’t bought into it yet. I was thrilled when a veteran (old!) teacher came up to my lab and asked “Now what’s that website that has the cheat sheets again?” The information is there…you just have to use it!

Thanks for the feedback! I wish we had gotten the information out to you sooner too. As for getting the word about our little site out…remember this site in only 6 months old. We know it will take another year or two to get complete buy in. But hey, by then we will have TONS of great resources posted! Keep spreading the word!

Secondary students on our campus have been logging in in the library with the 6 1’s, but they haven’t been given the option of changing their password. Has that changed since you guys originally created the post?

Can anyone tell me why the website for hotspot printing has been offline for awhile?
I am using https://www.printeron.net/system/printspot/interface/display_service_offline.jsp?url=ricoh/lcgjhs&lang=en-us
I want to teach other teachers how to use it and am following cheat sheets but can’t access this way. I guess I can use the email steps.

Nope…can’t use the email steps because that returns an email that says the service is offline….sounds like a campus issue. What steps should I take? Helpdesk?
