Here are a few ways to increase your productivity as a teacher in the Appleton Area School District from your own home:

1. Use Citrix: [Link]. Citrix is a Windows-based program that allows you to log on to the district network at home. Ideally, it brings up everything at home that you can access from school. This is especially useful in accessing your H: drive.

2. AASD Mail: http://mail.aasd.k12.wi.us. This is useful if you only need to access your e-mail account from home.

3. e-sembler: http://gb.aasd.k12.wi.us. This allows you to log on to your e-sembler grade book at home to update grades, etc.

Don’t forget to also check the AASD Helpdesk information page: http://www.aasd.k12.wi.us/helpdesk/. This contains useful information about e-mail, printing, software, chancery, phones, etc. Check this page first to see if can help you.
