Email address change
Effective August 1, 2007 for school year 2007-2008
In an effort to minimize the confusion of multiple usernames and logins, we as a district are moving forward with a systemwide update to our email system. This move is one step in a strategic plan to standardize our usernames using the first initial last name convention. Further down the road we will be migrating other accounts to make a unified login a reality. We look forward to providing you with the best possible support in this migration. With everyones cooperation and patience this transition should be smooth and seamless.
Email addresses will begin with your first name initial and your last name all lowercase. For example Jane Smith would be jsmith@northbrook28.net. If two staff members have the same last name & same first initial we will add the number 2 based on date hired. For example Jane Smith and John Smith will be jsmith@northbrook28.net and jsmith2@northbrook28.net
The goal is to simplify the user’s experience while offering security and reliability. The naming convention will be the same for both for e-mail and network login, which will be easier for the user. This change will address the issue of duplicate last names. The district will now have a standardized naming convention for all staff.
