Google News

We continue our transition into Google during this school with the hopes that it makes our work more efficient and improves our communication. Here are some important updates to expect in regard to Google.

GMAIL:

• Beginning August 3 we will transition to Gmail. This means that our email will be serviced only through Google.
  • Those of you at Dohn last year will remember that we had 2 email systems (@dohncincy.org and @dohnschool.org). From now on, any email sent to your @dohncincy.org AND your @dohnschool.org will be sent directly to your gmail. Both addresses can be used interchangeably and no mail will be lost.
  • After August 3, staff can simply go to www.gmail.com to view their email. However, if you would like to continue to use Outlook to access email, please fill-out the form below and our IT department will set this up for you.
• Beginning August 5 any messages that were in your @dohnschool.org email will be transferred and available in your @dohncincy.org Gmail account. This means that no one will lose any important emails from the old system.
• Because we will now have Gmail, it will be easy for any staff member to put their school email on their smartphone or personal computer. This will make working from home and communicating when you are off campus substantially easier.
• Within the next week or so, we will have email groups set-up for all staff to utilize as needed.
  • This means that we no longer have to "reply all" to a school-wide email to send a message to everyone. You will simply be able to type in "Dohn Staff" in the address bar to send an email to everyone. Additionally, you'll be able to send an email only to certain groups (for instance, "Melrose staff" or "North staff"). When groups become available, an email will be sent notifying the staff.
