Email Maintenance, Tues. Aug 2nd, 7pm-9pm

Access to email via Google Mail will be interrupted starting at 7pm on Tuesday August 2nd. This maintenance only affects the ability to "login" to email, not the email itself. In other words, email will still be delivered during this maintenance and will be waiting for you the next time you log in.

In addition to email, other web-based services which rely on your OSD username and password will also be unavailable. This includes all Google Apps, Moodle, helpdesk, etc.

You may be able to continue to use email during this period by logging in before 7pm and preventing your session from expiring. Devices linked to Google services such as Smartphones and Blackberries should continue to function normally as well. I am hopeful the maintenance will only last about 20 minutes, but have reserved the entire block (7pm-9pm) in case it is needed.

Possible email disruption

Google is reporting a small email disruption this morning.

We're experiencing an issue affecting less than 0.01% of the Google Mail user base. The affected users are unable to access Google Mail. We will provide an update by July 27, 2011 9:20:00 AM UTC-5 detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change.

Given the small percentage affected, it's unlikely it affects any OSD accounts, but if you are affected, you can check the status at http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en

Phantom voicemails

Update: This has been resolved as of Monday, July 26.

Many, if not all, phones have a blinking voicemail message indicator light, even when there are no messages waiting. We are aware of this issue, and are working with our support vendor to fix the issue. Sorry for the annoying blinking.

Internet and voicemail back to normal (almost)

Normal Internet access was restored at 4:30 PM after a server upgrade.

Voicemail service began working around 2:00 PM, so you can now check voicemail the same way you always have. However, not all voicemail prompts have been re-recorded, so callers will not have the normal navigation prompts until some time tomorrow (Friday).

On the upside, voicemail greetings and names were successfully migrated, so you need not re-record them.

Internet access interruption 7/21, 3:30 - 4:30

The district's connection to the Internet will be interrupted sporadically between 3:30 - 4:30 today while we perform server upgrades. No action is needed on your part.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

PowerSchool "frozen"

Data is being sent up to Infinite Campus, so no changes should be made to PowerSchool except for building schedules. Most user groups have been set to read-only access to PowerSchool to prevent changes from being made. If you think you need to make a change to PowerSchool, please contact the IT office.
