Student Email/SkyDrive Sign Up

Student email is based on the Microsoft Office 365 for Education platform, formerly know as Live@edu. Any CRHS attending student can sign up for email and has the ability to store files on their SkyDrive, which is a 25GB storage space connected to their school logon account. It is basically like your H (home) drive but on the web. Note that both are NOT the same. If you upload a file to your SkyDrive it does NOT appear in your school H drive, but it can be accessed at home or anywhere else you can get to the Internet.  In this way, you can transfer files when needed.
