Gmail
Although students don't use it often, email is the major form of communication in the business world. This means that writing & sending emails, including email etiquette, are vital skills. That's why LCPS has given every LCPS student a Gmail address (studentID@lcps.org). We suggest that you use this email to communicate with your teachers. Make sure you check it often, as they will be emailing you, as well!
