TECHNOLOGY UPDATES:

Digital Keys:

A BIG thank you for everyone’s patience and hard work with these new Digital Keys. It’s a new process that can be confusing. Please contact our office if you have any questions.

Just a reminder: The Digital Keys are the new passwords for students. These will be used to access ClassLink and related resources. These Digital Keys are generated in PowerSchool and Data Managers can assist with locating it or resetting.

So students would not have to know their Digital Key AND their Rapid ID passwords, we are asking schools to manually help reset Rapid ID passwords with the Digital Key (making sure the first letter is lowercase). 

Once the student Rapid ID password is changed to the Digital Key, it should not have to be reset again.   

Teams:

If you are interested in learning more about Microsoft Teams or if you have questions about the product, please contact our office.

Training is usually one hour since there are a lot of great features that may help your school communicate and collaborate.  Or, we can scale your training based on your needs or interests.   Please let us know how we can assist!!!

*Remember, anytime you are invited to join a Teams meeting you will have a better experience if you log in with your CCS Microsoft account.

Craven Virtual Academy -- Enrollment Closed

Please remember that enrollment in Craven Virtual Academy is application-based, which considers specific criteria. The application deadline was in the spring. Please do not inform parents and students they can withdraw and enroll at or transfer to CVA.  If you have any questions, please contact Principal Michelle Warren or Director of Secondary Education Dr. Shajuana Sellers.

If you are a new hire you should have received an email about your benefits. This may have gone to your personal email so if you have not received anything from terry.dixon@cravenk12.org then please check your personal email. You do have 30 days to enroll, HOWEVER, you need to know that at this point, whichever plan you enroll in whether it is employee only, employee plus child(ren), employee plus spouse, or employee plus family we will have to double your premium in September. We pay a month ahead so the September premium should have come out in August to pay for September. Please email Terry Dixon with any questions or concerns you may have.
