Message from ITC Regarding "New" Email (Outlook): For some of you, today (Monday) may the first time you're using your email since we've migrated to Outlook from Groupwise Novell. If you you see an authentication window (it has keys icon and you'll see your email address as the username), ITC is asking that you call the Help Desk at 8600 and tell them that you're "being asked for authentication when you're trying to use Outlook 2010 Client." They'll add you to the "open ticket" so your computer can be updated. Not all users will experience this because it is related to some specific computers only.
Grades 3-6 Teachers: Have you set-up your IXL Math Account for your class? If not, how can we help you set it up? As we have mentioned earlier, IXL Math is another supplemental tool that has been paid for by the Student Learning Department for your students to use. It is important that we use all available resources/tools to help our students meet standards. Char, Almai and Michelle are also here to help you use these available math resources (the same is true in Reading, only instead of Michelle, it would be Heather that can help). We just need you to let us know in what content area and how we may be of help to you and the students.
