Dear Central-Support Team Members,
We’re getting closer to next week’s move -- thank you for being proactive in organizing, purging, packing and otherwise preparing. We’d like to provide a few more details as staff at EGC, Acoma Campus and 780 Grant get ready to move into their new spaces next week.
As previously shared, all moves at each location will take place next week, Aug. 8-12. Please have your boxes packed by the time you leave the office on Friday, Aug. 5. If you have not heard whether or not you are moving, or don’t know your new location, please connect with your manager.
-
Boxes: We are aware that some buildings or floors at EGC have run out of boxes this week. Please know that we are working with the moving company to try to keep up with demand for boxes. Please notify Lea Porter if there is a need for additional boxes in your area.
-
Vacated work stations: This one is important! Please help us to make workstations and offices ready for their next occupant by packing up any workstations or offices that have been vacated by a former team member.
-
Moving buddies: If a team member is planning to be on vacation or otherwise gone during move week, please remember that your department is responsible for packing up that desk. Team members who won’t be in the office during their move day should designate a “move buddy” to help facilitate their move.
-
Personal items: As you know, team members are responsible for moving their personal items. Options include: moving belongings to your new seat assignment, as long as they are clearly labeled and won’t impede the movers; taking your items home with you for a few days.
-
File cabinets: The movers will be moving large, department-assigned file cabinets within EGC with contents intact. Please affix labels to these file cabinets and include the workstation or office number closest to the where file cabinet should land. We are not able to move file cabinets between buildings. If your team is moving buildings, please pack your file cabinet contents in boxes.
-
To help facilitate the moving of these large, heavy cabinets -- and also save limited drawer space -- please take this opportunity to purge unnecessary items before the cabinets are moved. Are you sure you need those vintage CD-ROMs?
-
Unwanted items: If items should be trashed, please throw them away or use the recycle bin. If they are items that could perhaps be useful for a school or another organization that supports students, please follow signage that you will see posted on collaboration tables on all floors. We will be collecting instructional and professional development materials for responsible re-distribution.
We will let you know the exact day or days your items will be moved by the end of this week. Please plan to work on the 14er or remotely on those days to allow the movers to transport your items. You can expect a communication with updates on the status of your items from District Moves Express.
Access this one-pager outlining the new locations of each department within EGC. For more resources, visit The Commons.
Thank you again for your patience as we embark on the move. If you have questions, please connect with your manager.
Sincerely,
Jim Carpenter, Deputy Superintendent of Operations
Office of Operations
