Email Accounts for Students

I have an important announcement for Upper Elementary and Middle School Technology classes:

This year upper elementary and middle school students will continue using Gaggle tools in technology classes.  Due to technical difficulties beyond the control of the school, we will not be using Google Apps in Education. 

These tools may also be used for regular classroom activities, as deemed appropriate or useful by the classroom teachers. Gaggle accounts are a safe, but fun, way for children to learn the proper way to use many typical online productivity and communication tools. These accounts are monitored by adults, to help ensure students' safety.  

Students and parents can find a handy how-to guide for basic use, along with FAQ and Troubleshooting guide, online at http://www.communityschool.net/gaggle_info.html 

If you’d like more information about the Community School Gaggle accounts, or to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your child’s use of these accounts, please contact the Technology Teacher.

New forms and a hard copy of the Gaggle How-To instructions will be coming home to students this week. 

Thank you!
