Is your email signature in compliance?

Use this post to update your email signature before school starts. Be advised, if you have images in your signature they need to be removed.

While images make the signature pop, the text inside can not be read by assistive technology. 

What does this mean? If you have your name and contact information inside the image it is inaccessible to anyone using assistive technologies on their devices.

All district emails sent by you must contain your email signature. This includes your laptop, iPad, mobile, etc. 

Follow the directions below to create your signature on your laptop and mobile device(s). If you are an elementary or middle school teacher that was assigned an iPad, you must add the signature to that device as well.

Note: You must use the gmail app on your mobile devices. The built-in mail app will not work for district email. This includes district iPads. In addition, you are required to use a passcode and/or face ID when accessing district information on any mobile device.

Below are the templates to follow when creating signatures on your devices.
