Email Migration is moving forward. 

• Migrating students

  • We have begun migrating students to office.com email. (from webmail.parkviewbaptist.com email) So far we have about 50 done and they seem to be going smoothly. 

  • This weekend we plan to push the rest of the students. PLEASE NOTE that this weekend will be unreliable (at best) for emailing to/from students. Please don't have any emails due before school Monday morning. 
  • After students are migrated they will have to get there mail on a different website 

    • Students will goto https://office.com and click on 'mail'. (note: This is the same website that onedrive, word online, excel online, etc live on)

    • and/or HIGH SCHOOL students may recreate their profile in outlook and continue to use outlook. This kb shows you how to do that Migrate to Office365 Mail (Create a new Outlook Profile).

    • MIDDLE SCHOOL students can also get their mail on https://office.com after being migrated. However, we will be pushing new email settings to those students email apps. After that the student should be prompted for a password and be setup. 

• Teacher migration:

  • If all goes as planned for students we will start teacher migration next weekend. 
  • Teacher computer settings will be similar to that of the students.
  • Teacher ipad settings will have to input manually. we'll update the kb to show how to do that. 

• Note on sending mail through renweb:

  • Renweb is sending mail fine. This means that email to parents should function normally. 

  • We  are confident that we have convinced the spam filter that renweb is safe so students and teachers should also get their emails (although they may not know where to get them.... office.com or webmai.parkviewbaptist.com) 

• Note on sending email to students office.com accounts from your webmail.parkviewbaptist.com account.

  • There seems to be a little hangup on typing addresses to students in outlook. 
  • it is best to avoid 'autofill' and type the address completely. EG instead of typing sha... and letting it fill in shawn.liner@parkviewbaptist.com. Type the whole email address. 
  • if you have emails bounce back from students please let us know. we are trying to resolve that now. (It seems to be related to the switch from first.last.gradyear....
