New Staff Onboarding Process
New staff hired by MAISD will meet with an HR representative for onboarding to verify employment and complete a new staff packet on or before their first day of work.
Prior to starting work or receiving access to technology equipment and services staff must go through onboarding.
At the time new staff meet with HR they receive their login name, temporary password, email address, and key fob providing building and copier access.
Security measures require new staff to be onsite the first time they login and change their password for the account to become active. Setting or changing of passwords offsite is not permitted at this time.
Directories - How to find staff
We have several sources for directory information ranging from the public information searchable on our web site at www.maisd.com/directory to private internal lists available within your Google Drive by searching the key words "Staff Directory."
How do I get help

HP T730 Plotter - Poster Printing
Montcalm Area ISD utilizes an HP T730 large format plotter for creating posters and signs for MAISD instructional and administrative use.
If you need to make a sign larger than 11"x17" for your classroom feel free to stop by our administrative office to use the plotter.
Instructions for guest login and use are posted near the plotter along with additional guidance below.
Replacement supplies such as paper and ink cartridges are available next to the plotter.
The combined cost of paper and ink for specific paper sizes are listed on the plotter.
For the smoothest printing experience, it is recommended to save or print your desired document in Adobe PDF format, open the document in Adobe Acrobat, and then select print. Please do not print from a web browser such as Google Chrome.
Paper Sizes:

Basic Printing Instructions:
- Open document in Adobe Acrobat
