Crier works around network issues

Lauren Hoogeveen, Editor-in-Chief
March 15, 2024

During the school day on March 7, the district experienced internet and server issues. As a result, students, teachers and parents were unable to access PowerSchool and Outlook.

Now, most applications are functional: PowerSchool, Outlook, intercoms, and bells. However, this does not include all Crier related activity.

The disruption affected student servers which Crier utilizes to store photos and design software.

On the first day of building this paper, Crier lost access to everything previously created.

Last Friday, staff made plans that the server would not recover in time for the deadline and started recreating what we had started.

On Monday, the staff ran recovery software on all SD cards to attempt to recover lost photos while also retaking photos. Although they were able to keep their deadline Wednesday, all of the work that both Crier and Paragon have done second semester is lost despite the server being back up.

Overall, students are still seeing issues with missing files from right before the network went down.

When you watch Christmas movies that have a choir’s caroling, you know how it feels. It’s a really magical experience,” junior Jovi Savaglio said.

“WAVE THERAPY” Displayed at Indiana University Northwest in Gary, art teacher Elena Lopez’s “Wave Therapy” is displayed. Her piece was created with acrylic on canvas and linen. “We had a lot of discussion about whether or not the pieces should be sewn together or attached to something so that they could just be put back up much easier. I didn’t want that, because in my mind, I thought, if this ever gets a chance to be seen anywhere else, I might not have this size. I might have to pull certain pieces for that particular space,” she said.

CRACKING THE CODE Looking at a computer, junior Tatyana Glowa and freshmen Julissa Gil and John Bellahcen go through practice images in business teacher Ryan Popa’s room. The three students are apart of one of the three Cyberpatriot teams, Echo. “I started knowing practically nothing and quickly learned how everything works,” Bellahcen said. “I really love competition days where you and your team get 95% percent of the image complete and then have to lock in and as a team work through problems together.”
