Save Over the Summer

Pretty soon hallways will be empty and quiet as students and staff head off for a much deserved summer vacation. There are many opportunities to save energy over the three month period between Memorial and Labor Days. As you prepare to leave your classroom, office, or area for the extended break, please make sure to do the following to keep our buildings operating efficiently throughout the summer months:

• Close blinds and drapes.
• Keep vents clear of books and boxes.
• Turn off monitors, printers, speakers, smartboards, etc.
• Turn off and unplug all miscellaneous electronics.
• Take home any plants and animals.
• Consolidate refrigerators in staff lounges; turn off, clean and prop open all but one in each building.
• Empty, turn off, clean and prop open refrigerators in FACS rooms and science labs.
• Look for and be aware of any opportunities to save energy during the unoccupied summer months.

 Thanks for doing your part, together we can and do make a difference!
