Scheduled

ISS will perform planned network maintenance on the Blake campus on Saturday, November 7, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We scheduled this work for a weekend morning to minimize disruption to students and teachers. All services will be restored before classes resume on Monday.

What is Changing?
ISS is replacing older network switches in five areas of campus with new equipment. This continues the network upgrade work we began this summer and will make the campus network more reliable.

What You Need to Know:
Affected areas: Upper Elementary, Middle School, Administrative Offices, Aamoth Stadium, and the Transportation and Maintenance Building.
The work will move from one area to the next, so each area may be offline for only part of the four-hour window.
In affected areas, you may not be able to use Wi-Fi, wired internet, printing, or desk phones. If you need to call 911, please use a mobile phone.
The services you use off campus will not be affected.

Next Steps:
Most people do not need to do anything. If you plan to work in one of these areas on Saturday morning, please work offline, at Northrop, or off campus. You can follow progress at status.blakeschool.org.
