To RCPS Students: Welcome to the Rockingham County Public Schools student digital locker and e-mail system! All RCPS high school students are being provided with access to SharpSchool, a student e-mail system which also allows you to easily transfer files to/from home. For part of the school year, 8th grade students are also provided with fiiltered e-mail and digital locker service. To provide this service, we have contracted with SharpSchool, a national provider of student e-mail. Both digital locker and student e-mail are internet-based services which can be accessed from school or home. Digital Locker Service All 8th-12th grade school students have a free digital locker available to them. To access your digital locker, login by clicking on the link above. You'll then enter your username and password. High School Students Usernames and Passwords: Your username consists of your first name+last name+last two digits of your SASI ID number. For example, John Doe whose student number is 123456789 has a username of JohnDoe89. To login, John would enter JohnDoe89 as his username. The first time you login, use your six digit birthday as your password. For example, if John Doe were born on April 5, 1990 then his password would be 040590. You will have an opportunity to change your password once you sign in. Middle School Students Usernames and Passwords: Your username consists of your first name+last name+last digit of your SASI ID number. For example, Jane Dough whose student number is 987654321 has a username of JaneDough1. To login, Jane would enter JaneDough1 as her username. Your password is the same password you use to log into the RCPS computer network. To use the digital locker service, log in and click on My Locker to upload your files for transport back and forth between home and school. Your mailbox is limited to 150 MB. Also, any file you transport into RCPS is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy. RCPS will not tolerate any abuse of this system and will terminate e-mail/digital locker service of students who do so. It may appear that you also have e-mail service available with this account but actually all incoming and outgoing e-mail is blocked until you request an e-mail account through your librarian. The following tips are for using digital locker service:
E-mail Service High school students--request this service through your librarian. Middle school students--your 8th grade teacher will inform you of when your service is activated. Once your account is set up, login using the username and password described in the section above. To access your e-mail, click on My Mail. This e-mail system is like all common e-mail systems and should be self-explanatory to use. Your e-mail address is username@rcps.sharpschool.com. For example, high school student John Doe's e-mail address is JohnDoe89@rcps.sharpschool.com. Middle school student Jane Dough's e-mail address is JaneDough1@rcps.sharpschool.com. Note that you are limited in which domains you can send mail to and receive mail from. High school students can exchange e-mail with any RCPS student, teacher, and with a few local college institutions. Middle school students can exchange e-mail with each other only. Other domains are blocked. All Services Please use this system responsibly by observing the following:
I would be glad to hear from you as you use this service. Let me know what works well for you and what is unsatisfactory. Send an e-mail to me at: jhill@rockingham.k12.va.us Sincerely, Joe Hill
