Student Gmail Use

Friday August 14th SUCCESS! orientation focused on the importance of email, and how it is used both in school, and in life.  Students learned that checking email is important to do on a daily basis, and they learned how to properly compose and send an email using the following components:

1. Include a greeting at the beginning and a salutation at the end of the message.
2. Include a concise and relevant subject line
3. Be clear about what your question, concern, or communication is about
4. Proofread your message before you send it
5. Spell the recipient's name correctly

Students also had the opportunity to participate in an online google apps training module that walked them through the Gmail system.  Parents can access that module by CLICKING HERE and then clicking on the "Gmail" link in the menu.  

We encourage you to talk to your student about how you use email in your daily life!
