Email Instructions for Cleanup
To archive (save to your machine’s hard drive) your important mail from your inbox or from your outbox (sent items)
- highlight the message or messages you want to file away and then click on “Actions” and go down the menu to “Move to Archive” This process takes quite a while so I would not recommend doing more than 50 at a time if you need your computer.
- You can select multiple messages by clicking on the 1st message and then holding down the Shift key and clicking farther down the page of emails.
To empty unwanted messages from Inbox or Sent Items, Just click on them to highlight them and then click on the icon of the trash can or go to “Edit” and down to “delete”
To empty your trash, go to “Edit” and come down the menu to “Empty Trash”
A good way to keep track of your mailbox is to go to "Tools" and down the menu to "Check Mailbox size". It will give you a good look at how much space you are taking up on the server.

Future Initiatives delayed by economy
Plans to install secure wireless networks at the remaining
schools have been delayed by current economical conditions. As a
result, our plans to develop a Laptop Policy and allow students to bring
their personal laptops or netbooks is also on hold.
Due to the federal regulations that govern our federal
monies, we cannot allow students to bring laptops with broadband cards that
would allow them unfiltered access to the internet.
