Staff Email
Over the summer, we have switched to GroupWise email. Staff email can be accessed from anywhere on our district site by clicking on the "Email Login" tab in the upper right of your screen. You may also click the left navigation bar "For Employees" and choose "Email Login", by manually entering the address or clicking the following link: https://groupwise.lblesd,k12.or.us/gw/webacc. Note that your username and password are the same Novell network username and password that you use to get into your computer.
Note that both versions of GroupWise have excellent help available in the Help files in the program. There are many "How Do I" subjects available.
