Summertime = Technology Projects I tend to smirk or laugh when I’m asked about if I’m off for the summer, or if my summer is going to be an easy one. What’s the tech guy even do during the summer months anyway? Summer is when I probably work the hardest and use my tech-wired brain [...]

Last summer (and the summer before that) I documented my PowerSchool Summer School experiences in regards to the struggles of setup.
