Personal Email Address
Personal Email Address
During your time at Hallsville ISD, you have been provided with a school email address to assist in your communication efforts with teachers, staff and others. Now that you are preparing to graduate, it is time to use your own personal email address to communicate with prospective colleges, employers and scholarship providers. Remember: your school email will no longer be available to you shortly after graduation. Make sure you move any important messages to your personal account so that you do not lose access to them.
Make sure you are using an email address that allows these individuals to easily identify you and establishes a good first impression!
⭐Good email example: gregsmith@xyz.com or gregsmith24@xyz.com
🚫Bad email example: 2hot4u@xyz.com or immastar24@xyz.com
Username & Passwords
Username & Passwords
Save your logins and passwords somewhere secure! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!! Nothing slows down your application processes like spending extra time looking for or resetting passwords. Remember, most site passwords consist of the following requirements:
8-12 characters (longer is stronger)
at least one lower case letter
at least one upper case letter
at least one number
at least one special character (such as !@#$, etc...)
Many sites will use your email as your username. If not, create a username that allows you to be easily identified and is professional. This isn't a username for your social media, gaming or chat conversations - now isn't the time to be funny or use slang.
