Why an Intranet for SSS?
The SSS Intranet was launched to streamline the
sharing of information that is common to staff in our division.
Whether you are looking for a particular form or have a question
about hiring or budget protocols -- you can now look to the SSS
Staff Intranet! Special thanks to Maryann Osborn, Vicky Schweizer, and Heather Faubert for their help in
managing this information, and to Bonnie Minick and Ken Petersen
for the design and launch of this great new resource for our
division!

questions along the way, please contact the helpdesk at ext 5400 or
