    Gmail Accounts for Elementary Students

    • In an effort to provide more access to communication tools for students and teachers, Gmail accounts have been enabled for our students in grades kindergarten through 5th grade. Given these extraordinary circumstances, we feel students and teachers will benefit from this open line of communication. GMAIL GUIDELINES
    • Students will NOT receive email from anyone outside our d41.org domain, so no outside emails will be delivered. Also, students will not be able to receive email from other students, only teachers.
    • A monitoring solution is in place to scan for inappropriate language in the emails. Any language that triggers this filter will automatically trigger an alert that will be sent via email to the school principal.

    Student Expectations and Directions

    • We expect all students to be respectful, responsible and safe online and to understand that the district Acceptable Use Policy still pertains to them when they are at home.
    • We encourage parents to have conversations with their child/children about their digital citizenship. This is an exciting time for our students to learn new communication skills in an authentic way! It remains important to remember to continuously monitor their usage of and interactions through technology.
