Student (staff) folders (X Drive folders) are set up so that each student (staff member) at Coral Glades has a folder on server \\3861-fileserv\ corresponding to their ID number. For example, a student (RR) with ID number 0670623673 would have a folder at:
\\3861-fileserv\students\0670623673\
A staff member with ID number p00057368 (me) would have a folder at:
\\3861-fileserv\staff\P00057368\
Only the student (staff member) with that ID number and some authorized school personnel will have access to that folder. Students (staff members) can store files and documents in there and will also be able to create sub-folders.
The student with ID 0670623673 would access this folder as follows:
