Update Apple ID
from Joe Fives
If you recently received an email from Apple requesting an update to your Apple ID, please be assured that it is legitimate. ??You received this email because, at one time, you created an Apple ID using your district email address, perhaps to install applications on district-owned devices (or, possibly, on a personal device). ??However, Apple has always viewed accounts with a ???@kckps.org??? email address as personal Apple accounts – not district Apple accounts.
Now, Apple has allowed the district to reclaim all ???@kckps.org??? email addresses for educational purposes only, managing them through Apple School Manager and Active Directory (your district email and password). ??Managed Apple IDs are designed to help school districts comply with student data privacy requirements (as well as for other district-wide benefits).
If you would like to keep the apps, photos, and files on a device that is still associated with the Apple ID previously created using your district email address, simply click the appleid.apple.com link in the email you received from Apple, or go to https://appleid.apple.com/ while you are logged in to iCloud with that account. ??You will be asked to use another email address that is not already associated with an Apple ID. ??All of your apps, files, photos, etc. will then be moved to your updated Apple ID, thereby returning your ???@kckps.org??? address to the district.
If you have any questions, please contact the Help Desk at 279-2330 or support@kckps.org.
Print Shop Orders
from Wayne Correll
To help the Print Shop, and our new Print Shop Manager, Ron Simmons streamline orders, the Print Shop is requesting that all orders and questions be sent ONLY to: print.shop@kckps.org. This will allow all Print Shop staff to see the requests as they come in, and enable them to act quickly. If Ron happens to be out of the office, those sent only to him will be delayed.
Please be sure to clearly state your need, the date needed, and attach the electronic copy if you have one.
Once Ron reviews your request, he will email you back the SI information needed to enter the order.

Annual Inventory Reporting
from Beth Porter
Thank you to all Administrators and staff for the 2018 – 2019 completion of the Building Inventory List.
Annual audits of district owned inventory and federally purchased assets is critical for compliance, insurance purposes and District wide management of surplus & disposals.
To promote consistency and ease of process, an Annual Inventory Reporting Cycle has been implemented for each building and department.
This reporting cycle provides annual deadlines for when each Administrator is to complete and turn in their building / department inventory list.
To begin this process, the following documents are provided:
1. Instructions to complete annual inventory list
2. Building Inventory List Form
3. Annual Inventory Report Deadlines
For auditing purposes, we ask that all Administrators complete your Building Inventory List using the Inventory List form (excel doc) as provided by the Risk Assessment department.
Contact Beth Porter or JaNia Motley with any questions you may have. Thank you!
