MAY 23RD EMAIL+CALENDAR MIGRATION Office365 Info for MAC Users ONLY

 

Included in the Office365 migration are two new storage spaces for individual and groups.

**Due to concerns with the data governance of the new storage spaces, we ask that you continue using your current network drives (L, M, and N) to save all school data. We will advise you when the new storage spaces can be used, we anticipate allowing usage of the new storage spaces within four weeks.
