The above link is for anyone wanting to change their passwords before they expire during the off summer month.
District TempShared Folder To Be Deleted in July
TempShared to be deleted 7-01-15 is a folder on the district’s storage area network for passing along information; it is not for permanent storage. The folder will be deleted on July 1, 2015. The folder was created as a temporary place for sharing among all district staff during the 2014-15 school year. Any staff member is able to view, add, and delete any files that have been saved there.
If you have any files or folders in the TempShared to be deleted 7-01-15 folder that you wish to keep, you will need to move them by Tuesday, June 30, 2015 to either a more permanent location, or to the new TempShared to be deleted 7-01-16 folder in DistrictWideData.
Great News For Google Apps!! Great New Changes!!
Anoka-Hennepin will be getting a NEW domain name!! The google apps domain name will be SHORTENED this summer. No longer will staff or students need to enter up to 41 characters as their user name to access Google Apps. The NEW domain will be AHSchools.us.
The district doesn't know the timeline yet, but will be notifying staff of the details during the summer. The are thinking of making the change the last week of July; right after summer school.
