Students of Mauston School District all have Gmail accounts, even the kindergarten students have a Gmail account. These accounts are managed and monitored by school district employees who work in the Technology Department.
When you learn in the cloud, you will need to check your District Gmail account every day for information from your teachers and other adults about coursework, lessons, and/or content. All elementary-aged students, with support from a parent or guardian, should check their District Gmail account every day, too. Gmail is an important tool for getting the information you need to successfully learn in the cloud. If you need help using Gmail, Mauston School District educators can support you.
As a reminder, here is how you access your District Gmail account:
- Use CLEVER - Many learning links for students are found in CLEVER including Gmail, or
- Type www.gmail.com in the address bar
Type in your student email address (should be your firstname.lastname@students.maustonschools.org), click next, and type in your password. This is the same information that you use to log in to the Chromebooks at school. When anyone engages online, it is essential that everyone behaves appropriately. Mauston students must follow the Responsible Use of Technology and Internet Safety procedures that are included in the District Registration at the beginning of every school year. It is not just students who have to follow those procedures, adults do as well.
As a quick reminder, when you are online, be sure to:
- Use respectful behavior and language.
- Stick to appropriate topic discussions.
- Send only appropriate video transmissions.
- Use only appropriate icons, emoji, and avatar submissions.
- Wear school-appropriate clothing if you are attending meetings virtually.
- Be honest and do not plagiarize or copy other's work - in other words, use academic integrity.
- Do not falsify information about yourself or impersonate others online.
When everyone remembers to act kindly, show consideration for others, and treat one another online as you wish to be treated in person, we will all be able to focus on learning. If you want to read through the actual policy and expectations, please refer to Mauston School Board Policy 7540.03.
