Chris, In Humboldt, we don't allow students to have a general email account. We have set them up for students who need to use it for a college course or if they need to communicate with someone for a class. We have also allowed foreign exchange students to have accounts.
When I was in Algona, we blocked the web email, and we set up an account for every student 9-12 to use email before or after school which really worked well. There are students who don't have the luxury of email at home so this was to mainly benefit the have nots. I always gave an orientation to each new freshment class and other new students at the beginning of the school year. During this orientation I discussed the main areas of the acceptable use policy, including the consequences. The principal also took part in this discussion. If we had students that needed to use email during the day for a class project, the students would need to get permission from their teacher. I didn't have too many problems, and this was without a lab monitor in one of our labs. Hope this helps. Julie Julie Graber HCSD Technology Coordinator 1500 Wildcat Rd.
