As part of Student Council’s plan for the year, we have school assigned emails through Google. It’s pretty much a gmail account except you have to go through a different address to get to it. Plus it has the school logo on the side, and a calendar for school related events. This will help whenever there are big school events that you must attend, for SATS, clubs, sports, or whatever else is going on at school. The start page for this email has the calendar as one of the features and you can’t remove it, you are permantly in tune with school. You can also add special personalized features like games, weather, CNN updates, People.com updates; whatever interests you. This is better than a School Webpage because it allows you to instantly have contact with everyone in the school. The only weird incident I’ve had with this is that the website takes a very long time to log on and sends you to a Documents page.
The website you have to go through to log into your account is: http://partnerpage.google.com/students.aci.k12.tr
and your email is your name with a period seperating your given name and your surname.
