Frequently Asked Questions
What is frogrock.org?
Frogrock.org is the domain for student email accounts. It’s connected to the district’s Google Workspace for Education account and to the staff domain, bisd303.org. (A domain is the part of an email address that follows the @.)
Why do students need school email accounts?
Timely feedback from teachers and peers makes learning more dynamic. District-supported student email accounts make communication between students and teachers easier, within a safe educational environment.
Who can students email?
Email privileges are set by grade band: grades 5–6, 7–8 and 9–12. Some grades can only receive email from BISD staff accounts, while others can send and receive email within both district domains.
Older students have greater email privileges. Privileges are set by instructional staff based on curriculum and classroom communication needs.
Why shouldn’t students use personal email for schoolwork?
Many adults keep a work email separate from a personal email, so personal messages stay private and separate from work communication. The same is true for students. A school account provides a safe, appropriate and collaborative way to communicate about schoolwork, separate from personal communication.
How do students learn appropriate email practices?
Safe email practices are taught as part of educational technology skills and digital citizenship. At most schools, teacher-librarians lead digital citizenship instruction, and classroom teachers teach expectations for safe and effective communication, both online and in person. Find more resources on our Internet Safety & Digital Citizenship page.
Does the district have technology policies?
Yes. The district has policies and procedures for safe and effective use of electronic resources, including Policy 2022 (Responsible Use of Electronic Resources) and Policy 3245 (Bring Your Own Device). Students and their families also sign the Responsible Use of Electronic Resources Agreement.
