How Do New Employees Get Access?
New employees will be notified of their username and email address via an e-mail sent to their personal e-mail address and/or phone call. A temporary/generic password is provided for the first sign-in. A new user will only be able to access his/her account for the first time at the Central Office or school site when using a district-owned device connected to the CCS Wi-Fi. This step is important to keep your email account and our network secure.
Employees that do not have a personal e-mail account should contact their supervisor. School/Department administrators can request the account from Human Resources. Human Resources will send a form to personnel that meet e-mail account guidelines. Human Resources will route completed forms appropriately.
Is Email Private?
As stated in the Technology Responsible Use Board Policy 3225-4312-7320:
"Students, employees, visitors, and other users have no expectation of privacy in anything they create, store, send, delete, receive, or display when using the school system’s network, devices, Internet access, email system, or other technological resources owned or issued by the school system, whether the resources are used at school or elsewhere, and even if the use is for personal purposes. Users should not assume that files or communications created, transmitted, or displayed using school system technological resources or stored on servers or on the storage mediums of individual devices will be private. The school system may, without notice, (1) monitor, track, and/or log network access, communications, and use; (2) monitor and allocate fileserver space; and (3) access, review, copy, store, delete, or disclose the content of all user files, regardless of medium, the content of electronic mailboxes, and system outputs, such as printouts, for any lawful purpose. Such purposes may include, but are not limited to, maintaining system integrity, security, or functionality, ensuring compliance with board policy and applicable laws and regulations, protecting the school system from liability, and complying with public records requests. School system personnel shall monitor online activities of individuals who access the Internet via a school-owned device. By using the school system’s network, Internet access, email system, devices, or other technological resources, individuals consent to have that use monitored by authorized school system personnel as described in this policy."
