Many of us need to conduct school-related work while we’re away from our work computers. Best practice would be to conduct that work on your district-issued laptop if you have one. If you need to “bring” documents home to your personal computer, consider using a flash drive to transfer work instead of emailing documents back and forth from work to home.

Using district Gmail from your home computer, or using a Gmail app downloaded onto a personal cell phone set up with your OSD Gmail account, makes it convenient to send and receive district email in a way that doesn’t compromise personal privacy and is archived and searchable by the district.
