How to export your data from your school account

Congratulations on being almost done with your high school career! As you prepare to graduate, the district IT department wants to make sure that you can take all your OSD data with you to college or work. Most student data is stored in Google Apps for Education in the oregonsd.net domain. If you have documents or files stored on the network server, you can copy them directly to Google Drive.

You share share your documents, Gmail, calendar items, and websites from your @oregonsd.net account to your personal Gmail account, or to your new college or work account. 
You can also use a tool called Google Takeout to export all your Google data. You can save it for posterity, for when you are super famous in the future or whatever. Go to https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout to get started.
Your account will be deactivated on September 1, so please export all your data before then.
We (the OSD IT department) don't own these tools, so we really can't support them, but wanted to let you know they exist. 
Best wishes!

How to Take Your Data With You

As this year's Senior class prepares to graduate and move on to bigger and better things, we want to make sure that they can take all their hard work with them to college or work. Most student data is stored in Google Apps for Education in the oregonsd.net domain. If you have documents or files stored on the network server, you can copy it directly to Google Drive.

Students can export their data directly from Google Drive (directions here), or perform an In-App Transfer. For example, a student could move their documents, gmail, calendar items, and websites from student.sample@oregonsd.net  to a new personal account such as mynewaccount@gmail.com, or to their new university email address.

We (the OSD IT department) don't own these tools, so we really can't support them, but wanted to let you know they exist. Best wishes to the Seniors!

Increased traffic limits in QoS

Because we have 500Mbps available via Charter, I increased the QoS settings on the Palo Alto a bit just to see if we were really artificially capping our usage, and if the PA could handle more. 

I didn't max it out, just put it up to around 300.
I'll keep an eye on the graphs, but just wanted you to know in case something weird happens.

Phone outage for OMS, BKE, RCI, OASIS and OHS today 4:00 - 4:30

In order to replace a malfunctioning component of one of the district's phone switches, there will be an outage from approximately 4:00 - 4:30 PM on Monday, November 10, 2014. This should affect only Oregon High School, Oregon Middle School, OASIS, Brooklyn Elementary, and Rome Corners Intermediate.

Netherwood Knoll, Prairie View, the District Services Office, and the Oregon Pool should continue to have uninterrupted phone service.

As with all things technological, there is the possibility that the outage will last longer than planned due to unforeseen events.
