First question: I set their passwords, lock them out of changing them, and keep them on file. This way, I'm not concerned with bad passwords, and it allows me to easily log in as them, and check out their account if I need to. I also make sure that parents have a copy of the username and password.
Second question: We do reference email in the student agreement(s). School email is for school-related communication only, no harassment, threats or bullying, and no using the school address to sign up for personal websites/services. --- Timothy A.

Do you keep track of student email passwords in a list, or do you let them create their own passwords and also change them at will? 2. Did you put anything specific in your AUP concerning student email use? And if so, what? Thanks so much for your responses. Sarah Sarah M.
