APS Google Apps for Education
All students and teachers, upon enrollment, are automatically granted a Google account through the APS Google Apps for Education program. Students and staff may log into their Google accounts through any authorized Google portal or log-in using their OneLogin credentials, formatted like an email address: User Name: studentid@apsva.us Password: your OneLogin password For example, if your student ID number is 123456, your Google user name is 123456@apsva.us.
Disenrolling Students and Staff Departures
Students and staff who leave APS for any reason will have their accounts automatically disabled. Prior to departing, you should use a service called Google Takeout to download any and all materials from your APS-issued Google accounts, which can then be uploaded into a new, private Google account that has been created independently. Google Takeout is located at encrypted.google.com/takeout. Former students and employees who would like to request temporary access to their already-disabled accounts should submit a Help Desk ticket request at 2847@apsva.us. Include your complete name as it appeared during your enrollment at the school, your student ID number if applicable, your grade level at the time of departure, and specifically indicate you wish to regain access to your Google account. School personnel have absolutely no access to this system, and cannot assist you directly.

iPad Maintenance Requests and Resources
- Students should report all iPad issues to TA teachers who then submit a x2847 ticket. The ITC will then be alerted by x2847 of the situation to resolve in a timely manner. The ITC will touch base with the student if needed. Please do not send students straight to the ITC without following this process. Email 2847@apsva.us with the issue. Please include Student Name, Student ID, and APS Tag (Blue) Number in your email. Place damaged iPads in my mailbox with a copy of your ticket.
- All teachers will have access to a grade level Personalized Learning folder in their Google drive. Please check this folder and the Personalized Learning section of the Jefferson website for updates, directions, and resources.
