Students on campus are given access to a plethora of ways to organize and share projects, information, and emails through a Google account. But on June 4, graduates and those leaving FISD will be cut off.

“Seniors will lose access to everything from their email, Google account, YouTube and H-Drive after graduation,” campus technology facilitator Jeff Wiseman said. “Everything doesn’t just go away, but they lose access to logging in to their email, drive, and with their lunch numbers.”

As emails may have been used for many reasons such as to communicate with colleges, it’s important for seniors to let others know their email will be inactive.

“People will be able to send emails to the student’s school account, but students won’t have the ability to see or reply to them,” Wiseman said. “I recommend they set up their account to automatically forward incoming emails to another personal email account.”  

For some students, backing up Google Drive is a must.

“I use my drive and email all the time,” senior Marissa Gomez said. “I have a ton of projects, emails and documents from outside of school on there so I hope to figure out a way to save everything.”

Transferring everything to an external drive is one option, but Google has an option that allows each person to be able to download a copy of their data found in their Google products.

“Students should consider first taking files they want off of their school desktop and H-Drive with a flash drive,” Wiseman said. “As for their Google apps they can use Google Take Out, which will download all of their Google documents and everything in their drive to a new computer, so they can keep their work from throughout the years.”
