Hundreds of students and staff in the district received an email sent by a student saying “ur a goober” on Tuesday, March at 9:13 a.m.
Later that day, at 12:19 p.m., another student replied-all to the message. This led to many other students replying to email with images and messages, with some of them being inappropriate. In all, more than 40 responses were made to this email.
Roger Warne, the Technology Coordinator, sent an email to all students and staff affected on Wednesday stating that everyone who had replied to the email would have their Google account suspended, and they would have to contact the administration to have it back.
According to Vice Principal Andrew Mitchell, the accounts were reinstated after students talked to the administration.
Warne said, “Sending and/or creating unwanted or unsolicited emails is a direct violation of technology policies.” He explained that he cannot mass delete the email that was sent. He reminded those affected: “You can block the sender so you receive no communication from that person.”
