Instructions for switching to halek12 mail hosted by Google:

Carefully read the complete instructions and other notes first, then come back to step 1.

1. Click this link to the halek12/Google login page . (creating a desktop shortcut to the logon page is recommended)
    
2. Enter your normal email user name (leave off @halek12.org) and the default password  which is.. halepass
    
3. Follow the online instructions to activate your account.
    
4. After activating your account log in and click Settings > Accounts > Change Password.
    
5. Set the password you intend to use. DO NOT use the default as your permanent password.
    

Note: Going to www.google.com and logging on to GMail is not the same as logging on to Halek12/Google. You must use the login page link on the HaleK12.org homepage. After you get to this login page you can create a Desktop shortcut.

This does not change your email address. Mail sent to you@halek12.org will now be delivered to your halek12/Google inbox. Mail sent from your halek12/Google account will have a return address of you@halek12.org.
 

The Help link on the halek12/Google mail page is your friend!
