Within googe apps, you can specify a domain name that you want google to recognize as the sign in page. So you register gapps.jaspercountyschools.net as a CNAME with your DNS host to point to ghs.google.com
Then in the google dashboard specify gapps.jaspercountyschools.net to be the access page for (service of choice here). Once you sign into once service, the other active services are links at the top. So if you're not using google apps for email, I'd make gapps take you straight to docs. You don't need to host a redirect file.

I was thinking that they would have to input the whole thing ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) to sign in to Apps, but then figured out (and Chris confirmed) that they only have to enter the username, so that should be okay. If at some point we decide to use the email portion of Google Apps for Ed, I'll have to figure it out then, but I'm not concerned about it now. My next question, though, is-for the schools that use Google Apps, how do users get to your sign-in page? Do you just send out the link and have them bookmark it, or do you link to it on the staff page on your web site, or set up a subdomain that redirects to it (for example-http://gapps.jaspercountyschools.net, which would then redirect them to the login page), or some combination of the above?

Granted you would still have the long e-mail address. Not what you wanted, but something to think about.

Our actual email domain is cusd1.jasper.k12.il.us<http://cusd1.jasper.k12.il.us>, but we own the domain jaspercountyschools.net<http://jaspercountyschools.net> (purchased through GoDaddy). Is it possible to set it up so that if someone sends an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, it relays it to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>? I know I can set up aliases for individual email addresses, but what about for the entire domain? The reason I ask is-I'm trying to set up Google Apps for Ed, without the email part. Our ROE handles our email, and the email addresses people are used to using are [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (which the ROE has somehow set up as an alias for cusd1.jasper.k12.il.us<http://cusd1.jasper.k12.il.us> for all of our email accounts). Since we obviously don't own the domain roe12.net<http://roe12.net> (not to mention other schools use that domain too), I can't set that as our domain for Google Apps, so I set it up as cusd1.jasper.k12.il.us<http://cusd1.jasper.k12.il.us>. The only problem with that is, I don't think the users will be able to remember all of that to sign in to Google Apps. Hopefully all of this makes sense.
