NEWSFLASH! Phoenix Military Academy is the first school in CPS to access and use the new FirstClass Student Email System!

A web version that will allow access without downloading the client can be found at:

http://fc.cps.edu

After six months of testing by the Phoenix Cadets, Chicago Public Schools went online with their Student Email system this week. The districts goal is to have every student from 4th grade through high school using the system along with their teachers as a way to simplify the use of technology within a curriculum.

When students and staff log-in to FirstClass, they will have a selection of tools including word processors and email available to them designed to promote a higher level of appropriate technology use within the school. The link below will allow you to download and install the program so that it may be accessed from home. The file is around 7 megabits and will take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection.

After downloading the program you will need a password and log-in use the program. These will be provided to each student as their accounts are initiated. Students who are in the 8th period computer class currently have log-ins and passwords with the goal of every student at Phoenix using it before the end of this school year.

Please right-click on the below link to begin the download and installation of FirstClass. *** To download, simply right click on the link and choose "Save Target As".

You may also find a download at http://fc.cps.edu/ClientDownloads/

Settings for High Speed home access:
  • Download Firstclass client program as described above
  • Start Firstclass program
  • Go to settings
  • Change "connect to": Internet.FCP and change the server settings to: "fcclient.fc.cps.edu"
  • Save settings
  • Log in

This should work for DSL or Cable internet service....
