Student Email

This is for the Faculty of BGISD

All students grades 5-12 have a student email account available to them, provided they have returned the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Early on in my career, I was not all that keen on using email with students. Today's world is quite different and the necessity to allow students access to their student email accounts has increased. Students now are sharing files with teachers and other students in efforts to complete homework and/or deliver presentations. I encourag you to always use student email accounts to set up educational accounts such as Prezi or animoto. Using student accounts will often give them free access to educational tools.

I would also encourage you to have students use their email address as "the" way to log onto the computers on our network.

Student email addresses follow this pattern: firstname.lastname@stu.bgreen.kyschool.us
