This year all schools are in AD and we had hoped to start the year with an automation process that would sync with PowerSchool to handle transfers throughout the year.  However, that is not in place yet and may not be available by August 25.  So we will continue with our previous process with one exception - our K-2 students will now have a Google account for chromebook use however they will not have an active email.  Below is the process currently in place.

  1. Terry Thompson will create the initial accounts a few days prior to student arrival.
  2. He will send you a list of the accounts he has made.  
  3. Any student not on the list will need an account created by the CTA at the school - be sure to reference the notes on how to create their home directory and properly set up their email accounts.  AD for CTA's notes  (Remember: Do not create generic accounts - they will be deleted and you could risk losing your rights)
  4. Transfers to your school from another JCS school will require you to request a transfer. (Remember each AD account has to be unique to our WHOLE domain) so you will not be able to make a duplicate account for the student.  Here is the form to request a transfer: bit.ly/adtransfer
If you have questions about how to create accounts please contact Terry Thompson or Angela Moore. Other issues can be submitted through IT Direct.
