Back-to-school season brings more than new students and sharpened pencils—it’s when your technology infrastructure is put to the test.
Whether you're welcoming students back into classrooms or preparing for state testing down the road, your network, devices, and communication systems need to be ready on Day One. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive Back-to-School Technology Checklist—designed specifically for schools that want to start the year strong and stay ahead of tech disruptions all year long.
Why This Checklist Matters
You already know that slow WiFi, outdated hardware, or a misconfigured firewall can derail an entire school day. But what about the less obvious threats? Things like unmonitored user permissions, expired software licenses, or PA systems that don’t route properly during an emergency?
Our checklist covers it all, from campus-wide connectivity to cybersecurity, staff tech feedback, and even E-Rate planning.
Here’s a quick preview of what’s inside:
🛠️ Infrastructure & Connectivity
✓ Audit bandwidth demands
✓ Test wireless access points campus-wide
✓ Identify aging or unsupported network hardware
🔒 Security & Data Integrity
✓ Review firewalls, permissions, and backups
✓ Confirm DMARC/SPF/DKIM email protection
✓ Provide phishing protection and end-user training
💻 Devices & Software
✓ Standardize collaboration tools
✓ Configure all student and staff devices
✓ Stay on top of license renewals
📞 Communication Systems
✓ Test phone, intercom, and emergency systems
✓ Update staff directories and call routing plans
📅 Planning & Support
