Wins for the Week!
2) Kudos to Chelsea Lemcke- Miller and Ms. Bahr for all their hard work with ACCESS testing!
3) We were honored to host the Area I PTA Board meeting! Our PTA works so hard to support our staff and students. This meeting provided additional training for volunteers.
4) We had a great PLC this week when we had an opportunity to explore student work using the ALD's and AKS. Our teacher had an opportunity to examine the lesson to ensure they were at proficient and distinguished levels for our students.
5) Our visitor from Couch Middle School was very pleased with the work that we are doing here at FFMS! She truly enjoyed visiting our 6th and 7th grade PLC's.
6) We had a wonderful time celebrating our students at our monthly Blazin' Bronco breakfast. It is always a pleasure to recognize those students who demonstrate good
character, citizenship, and leadership.
7) Thank you, staff, for another fantastic Advisement lesson! This is always a great opportunity for us to connect with our students.
Email Migration Information- 2/20/20
Here is some helpful information as we move towards our migration to Outlook on February 20th. Feel free to browse these resources, but I will also have a Y'all Come Session on the next day in lab A19.
Information from GCPS:
On Thursday, February 20, your email and calendar will be moving to Microsoft Outlook. This is your “go-live” date.
Here are a few things you should know in preparation for this move:
- On the evening prior to go-live, you will not be able to use Lotus Notes after 6 pm. On the morning of go-live you will begin to work in Outlook.
- The following Lotus Notes items will migrate to Outlook: Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash and all of your folders.
- Lotus Notes calendar entries will migrate as well. If you currently link an external calendar e.g. Google calendar, to your Lotus Notes calendar, remove that link prior to your migration.
- Archives will not migrate but you will continue to have access to them through Lotus Notes indefinitely. Before access to archives is restricted, you will be provided with instructions regarding archives.
An email will be sent 3 business days prior to your go-live with additional details regarding the migration.
Training options:
- You can begin to explore the how-to documents provided via the employee portal under Tools > Training Resources (found under Technology Support) > Office 365
- There are additional online courses available via Lynda.com. Lynda courses can be accessed free of charge by the Gwinnett County Public Library
Thank you for your help!
Thank you for being awesome! Stay happy and warm, Five Forks!
