The Account Consolidation Timeline (Staff ONLY)

(@minot.k12.nd.us and @mymps.us merge)

January 10, 2023

Preparing for the merge, an alias in your Google account was created January 10, 2023 for your @minot.k12.nd.us. This allows us to reserve your email address for our Minot Google. When we “flip the switch” to only use Google, the @minot.k12 alias will become the main account name, and @mymps will be an alias.

Note: If you used your @minot.k12.nd.us to create a personal google account, information on the message you received from Google is at the end of this document. 

January 17, 2023

We will start migrating email and folders on the Exchange Server (@minot.k12.nd.us) to Minot Google. You will find your minot.k12 email in your Google account under the label minot.k12 along with all your folders in Google. We anticipate that this process will take just over a week to migrate all of Minot Public School staff.

February 1, 2023

You will login to Google for your minot.k12 email. Your Google account username will now be firstname.lastname@minot.k12.nd.us and your existing Google password.

Note: Your login to the computer does not change. What does change is where you login/connect to check email and your Minot Google username.

Discontinue the use of Exchange email account at mail.minot.k12.nd.us. Note that staff will retain access to their old Exchange account on the school network through at least the end of the school year.

All email sent to your @minot.k12.nd.us email will be automatically in your Minot Gmail account. Your @mymps.us email address will now be an alias and will also be received in your Minot Gmail account.

Other account logins will not change.  For example: If you currently log into Clever using your @minot.k12.nd.us email address, you will continue logging in the same way. 

Logins using Google sign in such as the SchoolBlocks (website), you will need to use the new Google credentials, @minot.k12.nd.us as the username. 

This document will be updated as we continue the pilot.
