All high school students at Colegio Americano have been issued a Google Apps account for use with Gmail, Google Docs, Calendar, Groups, and Sites. The login is the student's school network number and a temporary password provided by their advisor. Students must change their password as soon as possible and access their account through the school's website or Google Apps page rather than the main Google site in order to login properly. The account should be used for all school activities and is monitored by the school according to the Acceptable Use Agreement.
