Email Use Policy

Electronic mail is a tool used by World Journalism Preparatory School (WJPS) to complement traditional methods of communication and to improve education and administrative efficiency.  Teachers and administrators use email to communicate with students and for official notices.  Students are expected to use their email accounts according to professional standards, good manners and common sense. 

User Responsibility:  Students are required to check this account daily, and they are accountable for all communications from teachers and administrators that are sent to their NYC DOE email accounts.  Students may not opt out of school emails. 

Sharing of passwords is strictly prohibited.  Each student is responsible for their account, including the safeguarding of access to the account.  All email originating from an account is deemed to be authored by the account holder, and it is the responsibility of that holder to ensure compliance with these guidelines. 

Privacy:  The NYCDOE owns all email accounts and all data transmitted or stored using nycstudents.netOpens in a new browser tab email accounts.  While WJPS attempts to keep email messages secure, privacy is not guaranteed and users should have no general expectation of privacy in email messages sent through their nycstudents.netOpens in a new browser tab email.  Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary for appropriate school officials to access email files to investigate security or abuse incidents or violations of WJPS school policies.  Such access will be on an “as needed” basis and any email accessed will be disclosed only to those individuals with a need-to-know, or as required by law.
