What is an Interact Account • Interact is the CCSD on-line communication system. • Administrators, Teachers, Support Staff, and Students use interact to: • Collaborate on various projects • Share ideas with colleagues • Get help when needed
What can Interact do for YOU! • Provide you with an email address • You can send email to people outside of the CCSD system • You can receive email from outside the CCSD system • You can communicate with your teachers and fellow students • The system can also be used to send and receive graded projects between students and teachers
In Addition… • You will be able to collaborate on the same document with your classmates or group mates. • You will have access to your schoolwork stored on Interact from anywhere.
Netiquette Rules • When replying to a message: • Use good manners. Write every message as if your parents, teachers, and friends will read it. • Classroom writing rules apply; reread, edit, and check spelling before sending. • Make messages short. • Always fill in the Subject: line. • Sign your message with your first name only.

Password • If you change your password and do not notify your instructor, it is a serious infraction of the rules.
