Classroom Technology

  • Faculty & Staff

The Classroom Finder was replaced in 2024 by the SFRS Scheduling Portal. Just like the Classroom Finder, the Scheduling Portal is an on-line database with detailed information about facilities, technology and support in Central Pool classrooms. The Scheduling Portal is the best place to start when you want to get information about a specific classroom.

Information about building administrators and technology support contacts is also posted in each classroom near the door and on the chalk dispenser, and on the Classroom Technology Services web site.
