Please be aware that this is a business account and not a private, personal account. Please use accordingly. While personal email is not prohibited, it is also not private. Email coming in and going out is backed up. However, you are personally responsible for complying with the Florida Public Information Act for retaining pertinent emails for the designated period of time. Managing your email by reading and deleting or filing into appropriate folders instead of leaving all email in your INBOX will prevent your email from becoming unbearably slow and unmanageable. It also becomes a necessity with Google mail as there is a quota on this account that means you will not receive new emails once you reach this quota until you remove some of your old email.

Web Page: 

Upon request, you may have your own school-related website linked to your school's website. Your contact for this would be your school webmaster and site tech. District and school websites are managed with Blackboard's Web Community Manager. Teacher class pages should be developed using Google Sites.

Web Use:

When using the web, please report any inappropriate sites via email to filter@sbac.edu. We will block them. Conversely, if you need to reach a site that is currently blocked and it is urgent, please contact the Helpdesk at 955-7051. If it is not urgent, email your unblock request to the above filter address.
