October 3-7

This week I did more inventory, but this time I had to do inventory on all the computers in our school. I was able to learn the coding system used to identify the computers. For example, MES146X means it's a student computer in room 146 at Marshall Elementary. This year we have a new E.T. at our school. Our previous E.T. had been at been in the position for many years. Many of the computers were either in different rooms or not documented on the information our new E.T. received. He thinks this is because our previous E.T. didn't have to write this information down since she had been there so many years and remembered which computers she replaced or switched between rooms. I found many computers that were supposed to be in a certain room were not there and other rooms had more computers than what was listed on the inventory record sheet. In these cases, I made notes of which computers were missing and wrote down all the computer identification labels for the extra computers located in classrooms. Doing inventory on all the computers is a big task especially since many rooms have over eight computers. Also, we are a big elementary school. I will be finishing this job when I return back to school from fall break.
