Student Use of Internet and Electronic Communications

The Internet and electronic communications (e-mail, chat rooms and other forms of electronic communication) have vast potential to support curriculum and student learning. Students at Anne K. Heiman are taught how to use these tools appropriately, to educate and inform. All students are required to adhere to the Link to district 6 policies on use of the internet and email.

Student Email Accounts

Student Email Accounts

Greeley-Evans School District 6 will provide a free email account for every student. Depending on the teacher, students may also be able to turn in assignments using email.

All students will receive training on appropriate use of email before receiving their usernames and passwords. Trains include: dealing with potential bullying, email from unknown senders, email etiquette, and that email messages leave a permanent digital record. Parents are encouraged to use Common Sense Media to support their children. Resources can be found at commonsensemedia.org.

If you do NOT want your student to have a district provided email account, you may fill-out a “Student Electronic Mail (email) Opt-Out Form” in the office of any district school.
