The Goose Goes Google

Who has an account?

All students K-12 have GCCISD Google Accounts at the @student.gccisd.net domain.

All staff have 2 GCCISD Google Accounts, one using the @student.gccisd.net domain and one using the @gccisd.net domain.

Why do staff members have 2 accounts?

In order for staff and students to be able to search for each other in the global address list, they must all have @student.gccisd.net at the end of their email address. Therefore, if you are communicating and sharing information/files with students it is suggested you use the @student.gccisd.net domain.

For staff to staff file sharing, it is suggested you use the @gccisd.net account.

CAUTION: Some Google Apps and/or features may work in one domain and not the other.

For example:
Google+, Talk, Hangouts, & Blogger will not work on your @student.gccisd.net account.
Gmail & Google Classroom will not work on your @gccisd.net account.
