So what's the deal with student mail?
Google accounts are now available for many of our RPS students. These accounts allow students to leverage the power of many of the Google Apps for Education including Slides, Drawings, and Classroom. Is access to Gmail included? The short answer is no; however, students can use their StudentID#@rvaschools.net Google account to create and log in to a whole host of free online resources that require account creation.
BUT WAIT! High school students now have access to their RPS email!
