January 6, 2024 is National Technology Day. We wanted to introduce the newest member of the tech team, Ian Davis, Technical Support Specialist at MCS.
“This is my first year working in education and I’m very eager to use my technology skills to help better the use and efficiency of technology in the school system. I ensure that all the tech used by staff and students at MCS run smoothly. Prior to working in education, for the past seven years, I worked in a tech retail sales environment where I would assist with a mixture of Apple devices, cellular devices, Windows products, etc. So, with a great understanding of technology, I hope to apply this knowledge here at MCS to help the staff and students excel in the ever-evolving tech world we live in.”
Two other members of the Moultonborough School District Technology Team are Etienne Valle and Todd Clifford. Both have been with the district for over a decade and such play an important role in our community.
Etienne Vallee, Director of Information Technology, has worked in education for 25 years; this is his 10th year in the Moultonborough School District. Mr. Vallee started in education as a classroom teacher and worked in Moultonborough School District as a librarian before becoming Director Of Information Technology in 2019. In addition to making sure all our computers, iPads, systems, and applications are working, Mr. Vallee is an advisor to the MA Student Council and substitute bus driver. He assists the Student Council in organizing activities such as Homecoming Parade and Dance, Winter Carnival, and Co-Curricular Fair. According to Superintendent Patrick Andrew, “Etienne Vallee is an amazingly knowledgeable individual, and he is driven to provide every member of the school community with the technology they need to teach and learn.”
Todd Clifford, Network Administrator, is going into his 18th year working in the district. Mr. Clifford monitors and maintains our multiple systems. He is extremely knowledgeable and solves problems before most of us know that there is a problem. Mr. Vallee finds “Todd an invaluable asset to our tech team. It is his expertise that keeps us [the schools] up and running.” In addition to keeping the network running, Mr. Clifford coaches Boys Varsity Baseball.
The Moultonborough School District Tech Team has provided excellent technology support to teachers and students over the years. Their unseen efforts ensure that our students can participate fully in the learning experiences we provide. Thank you, Etienne, Todd, and Ian.
