Once you leave CMS, your student google account will be turned off and you will no longer have access to any files shared by it.

If you would like to keep your files, you will need to back up and save them by using Google Takeout. This will create a file of all the items you have created in Google Accounts over the years. You can then save this file or send it to another account. It takes time, so place ahead. Make sure you go through and delete any files you do not want before creating your takeout file.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) developed the Rethink Education statewide blended instructional model to prepare for a future where students, families, and schools can successfully navigate seamless instructional models of remote and in-person learning.

A key part of this initiative is making sure that we’re providing the best support possible, and that’s why we’re reaching out today to ask for your input in a brief anonymous survey. Your feedback is important for us to continue to improve and provide excellent learning options for all students.

Will you please help us improve by taking 10 minutes to complete our survey?

If you are having a tech issue, please fill out the Tech Issue Form. This will help issues be addressed as quickly as possible and help us keep up with our record keeping since there are only two of us handling these issues. Emails are harder to keep up with and do not leave a paper trail that everyone can access.

If you are having a Teams issue is please fill out the Teams Issue form. These issues are harder for us to troubleshoot in-house, but we are sending these request to the district for support.

Both of these forms are linked on the Tech Help page, which all students and parents have access to through links on all canvas pages and the CMVS website.

Please utilize these forms rather than emailing teachers and staff.
