• About student email

    Email accounts are provided for students to use to communicate with their teachers.
    • Elementary students: Email accounts are created for elementary students upon request from a student's principal.
    • Middle and high school students: Email accounts are automatically created for all middle school and high school students at the beginning of the year. Students will receive their account and login information from the school staff member designated to handle student email requests.
