What is an Interact Account
 Interact is the CCSD on-line communication system.
 Administrators, Teachers, Support Staff, and Students use
interact to:
 Collaborate on various projects
 Share ideas with colleagues
 Get help when needed
What can Interact do for YOU!
 Provide you with an email address
 You can send email to people outside of the CCSD system
 You can receive email from outside the CCSD system
 You can communicate with your teachers and fellow
students
 The system can also be used to send and receive graded
projects between students and teachers
In Addition…
 You will be able to collaborate on the same document with
your classmates or group mates.
 You will have access to your schoolwork stored on Interact
from anywhere.

the event that you forget it.
