On April 1st, 2013 the district will switch to a new email program, Office 365.

Here are some key points you may wish to know:

  • Email address—you will keep your present email address
  • Inbox size—you will have 25G of space vs the 500Mg you presently have
  • Cost savings—This email program is offered free to educational institutions, saving our district license, software, and maintenance agreement costs.
  • Groupwise email—The district will not be moving your present emails into the new system. Directions will be provided if you wish to so this. Groupwise emails will be available until June 30th for your review.
