Voicemail Available For All NRMPS Staff



Google Voice gives you one number for all your phones -- a phone number that is tied to you, not to a device or a location. Use Google Voice to simplify the way you use phones, make using voicemail as easy as email, customize your callers' experience, and more.

Google Voice isn't a phone service, but it lets you manage all of your phones. Google Voice works with mobile phones, desk phones, work phones, and VoIP lines. There's nothing to download, upload, or install, and you don't have to make or take calls using a computer.

Google Voice will let you define which phones ring, based on who's calling, and even let you listen in on voicemail before answering the call. We use smart technology to route your calls. So, if you're already on a Google Voice call, we'll recognize it and use call waiting to reach you on the phone you're on.

Anyone with @nrms.k12.nc.us email address and has a VOIP phone in their classroom or office can have free voicemail using Google Voice.

With Google Voice, the voicemail will be transcribed and sent to your email account where you can listen to the message.  If needed, you can forward the voicemail to anyone needing to see or hear it.  This works great at the front desk (main number) of the school.

Google Drive - Folder View








Here's a quick tip to open up an entire folder in your Drive and jump through its contents while previewing each item: (example below)

Click on the arrow next to My Drive in the left-hand navigation of your Google Drive on the web to display a list of your folders. Then, right-click the folder and select Open from the drop-down menu. A recent update to this feature makes it easier to navigate through your entire folder hierarchy, too.
