Congratulations!
You are now an official WHPS Google Apps for Education user…..
As of June 30th, West Hartford Public Schools will be saying “good-bye” to Lotus Notes! Your Lotus Notes inbox, including folders, subfolders and attachments will be migrated into Google Mail. Your Lotus Notes calendars (if utilized) will also be moved into Google Calendar. During the next few weeks we will be setting up your Google Apps access. Your Lotus Notes mail inbox and calendar will not be brought over until AFTER July 1. You can login and access your Google Apps account now however so feel free to look around. Note that your email address will be the same as before (Firstname_Lastname@WHPS.org). Because of this you will not be able to receive mail into your Google Mail account until after July 1. Any mail sent to you will be seen in your Lotus Notes account until then.
