This is a message from the PCS Technology Department for all Putnam Distance and WVVS students: "There is a safety default setting that requires students to log in to the network about once every six months to activate windows. If a student has been in school and has accessed our network, they are fine. The students who received a device and have not logged into the network are having this issue. Several calls have come to the Help Desk today regarding this activation message. To fix this problem, students need to go to a Putnam County School and access the network using the school WiFi or Kids Connect. This can be accomplished without coming into the building. Students may be asked to re-start their device once they are connected."
