Switching to First Class email

All teachers must use the First Class email, starting this September. The First Class "client" is installed on all the school internet workstation. You'll find the shortcut to it in Bulletins > Programs. Your user ID is your first initial followed by your last name. If others in the board share the same first initial and last name, then you'll have to add your middle initial to the ID. For example, my ID is not gbrown, it is gtbrown because there is more than one "gbrown" in the HWDSB. To find out what your starting password is, email me.
