We have some adjustments that must be made to the district phone system – we will hold off until the end of the school day, specifically waiting until the buses have returned, which should be about 4:15pm. It will impact phone services at all schools for approximately 45 minutes.
There are two website that both lead to the S: drive:
Option 1: https://home.wdmcs.org (students use their existing user id/password to gain access)
Option 2: http://www.wdmcs.org/s-drive/ (also requires a student id/password to gain access)
Students use their existing id/password that they use to log into the computers at school. How do parents log in? They need to ask their student to log in with their id/password.
The Student Drive, or more commonly called the S: Drive, is a location on the network where teachers have access to leave documents, assignments for students. Student have read-only access. Teachers commonly use the S Drive to leave assignments, notes, templates, or even project examples.
As teachers purchase curriculum materials, we’re finding that they want to share them with students via the S: Drive, however, copyright does not permit us to open share purchased materials. However, they can be shared with students through a password protected site, so we are returning to having the S: drive password protected.
Although parents do not have an id/password for access, we encourage you to talk with your child to gain access to the S: drive.
