VPN: Access Network Drive From Outside CISD

Click the VPN symbol (pictured above) and log in as you would to your PC at school (this symbol is located at the top of your screen on your MacBook). If you DO NOT have a VPN symbol: Go to system preferences, then to Networks and click on VPN on the left side of the box, from there check the empty box that says SHOW VPN STAUS IN MENU BAR. If this doesn't work, put a work order in.
