What you find on this page is not all inclusive.  There are many different configurations, however, I tried to choose the configurations most common within our school districts.  "My way" is not the only way.  After working with the documents you will find shorts cuts, feel free to modify for your own needs.  If you run into a problem, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I suggest you create a folder on your desktop to save all of the documents in one place in order to avoid confusion.
