We give out a school email address if it is needed for a class or other legitimate purpose. Kids are allowed to access Gmail. Hotmail, Yahoo mail, and pretty much any other online email interface. The reason for limiting email accounts is simple. We don't want the liability from a teenager's sense of humor.

Here in Pocahontas we are in the final stages of implementing our 1 to 1's and just trying to tie up some loose ends. Thanks Phil Trimble IT Director Pocahontas Area Schools 712-335-4848
