All pupils at Rowner Junior are issued with a gmail address, which enables them to log into the school computers, and also into their Google Classroom accounts. During Computing lessons, children may also use their email address to practise sending and receiving emails and to save and retrieve work to/from their google drives. In digitalised world, we are pleased that our children are using electronic forms communication with information about how to do so safely. Staff do not have the capacity to monitor pupil’s emails, and although certification guidance and social media discussions are  had through online safety lessons. It is important that children do not use their e mail address to set-up social media accounts. Please keep having open and honest conversations with your child/ren about social media, and where possible, monitor their school email addresses to ensure they are using them age appropriately.
