HELP!

A little bit of help on a few topics related to our web site and district technology...

Need help on topics not listed here? Send us an e-mail request--we will see if there is an answer--if it is a wide ranging topic we will post a general answer.

Current Topics:

1. Accessing the PGUSD Intra-Net:

We are experimenting with a staff area of our website. It will eventually contain a copy of the distributed Phone/Address Directory and anything else that will be of use for staff, but not generally available to the public. Entry will be by name/password access.

To see the area develop, click on the PGUSD logo located on the main page of the District Web Site. You will then be asked for your name and password. These are your "pgusd.org" email username and password. For a person with the e-mail account bschmidt@pgusd.org, the username is bschmidt and then they would enter their assigned password.

If you are a PGUSD employee and do not have a "pgusd.org" account yet, you can contact Bruce Cates at the Adult Education Center.

2. Setting up your "pgusd.org" email account on Netscape: (other email programs follow a similar pattern)
