The ACS faculty have been busy creating a new educational portal for our community called "ViperNet". It is based on Moodle, a course management system used by colleges and universities around the world. Course help pages are located on the ViperNet. Parents and students are automatically entered into courses based on the student schedules, but parents "roles" in the courses are limited. Eventually, most of the secure content on the ACS website will be found on the ViperNet site. Use the same login you use for the ACS website to enter the ViperNet.
ACS is a Google Apps Educational Institution. All members of the ACS community have Google accounts, including alumni, students, families, faculty, and administration. The Google "apps" include Gmail, Documents, Calendar, Reader, Sites, Picasa, and Google Earth. Our ACS Google users have over 7Gb of mail storage, and 1Gb of file storage in Documents. The Google Apps can be used on many computer and mobile systems, and can be accessed almost anywhere in the world. You can go directly to the ACS Gmail by clicking here. The same login you used for the ACS website works for Google. If you are having problems, please contact the ACS receptionist.
Learn how to login to ACS Google Apps and ViperNet at one of our ACS Tech Parent Institutes. The scheduled training for this week is Monday morning, August 30, from 7:45 to 8:30 AM, and again Tuesday evening, August 31, from 6-7:00 PM. This "basic" training will be repeated one hour before each of the Open House events in the Elementary, Middle, and High Schools.
