[info-tech] Student Email Policies
Hello All, I am wondering if any of the school districts out there are allowing student's access to email, and if so are you willing to share your email policy with me. 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

RE: [info-tech] Student Email Policies
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.

RE: [info-tech] Student Email Policies
Hi, Phil. We do offer student email accounts, hosted on SmarterMail at the AEA, for grades 9-12. They are periodically monitored and their inbox size is limited, and they agree to use them only for school purposes. Violations result in the loss of the account. Our teachers and office staff find it great to be able to communicate directly with students that way, and it allows the students to access teachers directly, also. I find it invaluable in helping 1:1 students when they have problems outside of school. There certainly are risks, obviously. We've had a pretty small number of problems, mostly relating to romantically involved couples emailing each other every five minutes all day long. --- Timothy A.
