New school year - time to update your signature

We are now only days away from the beginning of a new school year, your room might be ready but is your email signature?

Take two minutes to review the new requirements for your signature. Please note you most likely have two to three locations that need to be updated. I am updating my phone, iPad, and laptop so when I send official district communications the messages all contain my proper signature.

Laptop

Open Gmail in Chrome.

1. Click the gear icon in the upper right.

2. Click Settings.

1. Scroll down the page until you see the signature section. If you do not have a signature, click to turn it on.

2. Add your signature.

PRO TIPS

1. I always add a space here. It helps make your signature standout from the rest of your message.

2. I also click on this option. This will put your signature above any replies or forwards.

Once you have created or updated, scroll to the bottom and save changes.

Click to start a new email to check your new signature.

iPad/iPhone

I recommend using the official Gmail app and not Apple Mail.

Open the app.

1. Make sure you are in your district account.

2. Click the hamburger (three lines) in the upper left. 

Scroll down and click settings.

Click on your district email.

Click Signature settings.

Make sure it is toggled OFF. This will force Gmail to grab the signature you just added on your computer. It would be a very good idea to test your signature by sending yourself an email to make sure everything is correct.

Android

I recommend using the official Gmail app and not the preinstalled one from the phone manufacturer. Please use the same requirements listed above when creating your mobile signature.

1. Make sure you are logged into your school Gmail.

2. Click the hamburger (three lines) in the upper left.

Scroll down and click settings.

Click your school account.

Scroll down.

Click to add or update your signature.

Click OK when finished.

It is recommended to send yourself an email on your mobile device to make sure your signature is correct. Note that on Android you can't add links or colors in your signature.
