  • Gmail Update

    FOR TEACHERS AND OTHER NON-12-Month EMPLOYEES  

    This is just a reminder that all email will be changing over to Gmail beginning Wednesday, June 1 at 7:00 am.  

    To access your Gmail, you will follow the steps below: 

    1. Go to workspace.google.com/dashboard. 
      • You will be prompted to login. Your login will be in the format of first initial last initial j and a series of numbers (ccj3255) which is the beginning of your current username with the domain of jcsd.ms (ccj3255@jcsd.ms).  
      • Your principal has your new password. 
    1. After logging in, you will select Gmail from your Google Workspace page.  
      • The old email address from jcsd.k12.ms.us will only be forwarded to the new email until December 16, 2022.   
      • Your old email will not be there until the migration is complete.  We do not have an exact date for this yet, but it should take place within 6-8 weeks.  
      • Don’t stress too much…you will be able to access Outlook online to retrieve past emails. 
      • Do NOT send email from Outlook.  You will need to send new emails in Gmail.   
      • All new emails will be directed to your Gmail account.   
      • Let all outside contacts know either your new email address (ccj3255@jcsd.ms) or your alias (firstname.lastname@jcsd.ms).  
    Remember...
    • When all laptops are completed, you will be encouraged to pick up laptops and become familiar with the new processes.
