About Student Email

A school email address is provided for all students. The Use of this email address should be limited to academic purposes. All email traffic is recorded and can be made available to law enforcement if requested through proper channels. As required for all public entities as required by law.

The Ability to send and receive email is controlled by grade level. All school email addresses end with @albionk12.org

Typically high school students have unrestricted access to email allowing them to contact colleges or off site experts when required in the course of their school work.

Middle school Access is more restricted to inside the domain except for vendors who can provide technical support to students by email. Normally password recovery issues,.

Elementary Access is the most limited to internal domain email only. This allows students to communicate with teachers as needed especially during remote learning. Exceptions for limited time periods are occasionally granted with permission of the building principal.

Monitoring of email

The Albion Central School District uses BARK to monitor all student activity in our Google Suite, including email. Every key stroke is monitored and an artificial intelligence program searches for words and phrases that might suggest inappropriate behavior. Our administrative team is sent emails to indicate that an incident may have occurred and may require intervention. Parents can also get this information depending on the severity of the incident. BARK also provides parents with the ability to track student cellphone usage (a fee is required for this service).
