Technology Tidbits-EMAIL change
Forsyth is changing their email server starting in December. Midway's email accounts will be moved December 13th. If you save emails into folders you MUST follow these steps before the move. All personal folders will be lost if this is not done prior to moving the email account to Outlook 365.
- Move Outlook Personal Folders to Inbox (Directions for Moving Outlook Personal Folders to Inbox)
I am letting you know now so if you have any questions or want help please ask. If you save emails into folders and you do not follow these steps the emails can NOT be accessed after the move to the new account.
Signing up for technology through public folders has changed as well. This starts NOW. Here are the directions.

* Holiday Card
We are trying to get our holiday card together again. We would like each grade level and group to get together and take a picture like we did last year. If you could please have this picture done by next Monday. You can rather text or email Martha the picture.
