HJUHSD is Going Google!

We are pleased to announce that HJUHSD has chosen Google Apps for our new email and calendar platform.

Our IT team has been working on the migration and is looking forward to moving employees from our existing email server to the new services over the next few weeks.

With Google Apps, we'll gain the benefits of a robust and innovative feature set, the ability to access email and calendar services from any Internet-connected computer, increased storage capacity, and lower infrastructure and support costs. What's more, Google Apps is easy to use, and we think staff will find it to be a more efficient way to manage email and calendars.

 Our email addresses will NOT be changing. But, we WILL experience an interruption of email services during this transition, from Thursday, July 26 through Monday, July 30.

After Noon on July 30, all HJUHSD staff members will be able to login to their new Google Apps accounts to access their email, calendars and contacts.

STAFF: To login to your Google Apps account, start at the HJUHSD Google Apps Welcome Center (https://sites.google.com/a/hjuhsd.k12.ca.us/hjuhsd-google-apps-learning-center) and login with your HJUHSD Google Apps username and password. All the resources you need are there waiting for you! Though your email account will not be activated until July 30, you can login to the Google Apps Center NOW to start using other tools and to learn more about the new resources available to you!

If you do not know your Google Apps login, email webmaster@hjuhsd.k12.ca.us or call the HJUHSD IT Office at 559-583-5901, ext. 3104.

We think our staff and our community partners will all benefit from our new Google Apps services, and we're committed to making this a smooth transition. Thank you for your patience!
