Here are some important tips and instructions to help you stay secure and make the most of your account:

Only your school administrator can create a Google Workspace (G-suite) account for you. Also password recovery is also possible through your administrator. So remember your account password. Keep it safely.

Report the issues to your class teacher well in advance. 

Log In  and use your account regularly to avoid deactivation

Google may deactivate inactive accounts. To ensure your school account stays active:

Log in at least once every 15 days.

Open your Gmail, Drive, or any Google app under your school login.  If you are attempting the weekly quiz regularly there will not be any problem.

This helps keep your account in good standing

Check Your Email Frequently

Important updates from your school—like exam schedules, class links, event announcements, or notices— and information regarding your Google account are sent via email.

Make it a habit to check your inbox at least twice a week

Respond to teachers or admin emails politely and promptly.

Do Not Use Your School Account on Personal or Third-Party Websites

Your school account is only meant for academic use. Avoid:

• Signing up for third-party services (like games, forums, or social media) with your school email
• Using it to store personal photos, documents, or private data
• Linking it to non-educational apps or tools

Why? Your school administrators have access to logs and activity history. Using it for personal activities may compromise your privacy.

Respect Digital Safety Guidelines

Your account activity reflects your online behavior. Always:

Be respectful and professional in emails and online discussions

Don’t share your password with anyone, even friends

Log out from public/shared computers

If you suspect unauthorized activity, report it to your school IT support immediately.

Make the Most of Google Tools

Your account gives you access to powerful tools like:

Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides for assignments and projects

Google Drive for secure cloud storage

Google Classroom for coursework and announcements

Google Meet for online classes or meetings

Use them to stay organized and productive!
