"As of March 9, 2018, high school students will no longer be able to access the Hangouts app using district accounts based on evaluation of effectiveness and current curriculum requirements."
The feedback I have received from other students highlights how much we rely on these tools for collaborative projects. I am currently working on a formal request to share with the district office so they understand the practical impact of this decision.
March 8, 2018
Seeing this momentum grow has shifted my perspective on how much we value our digital connections at school. It is clear that the community relies on these tools to stay linked throughout the day. This energy confirms that our frustration is shared by many who miss the ease of communication we lost.

I use Google Hangouts quite often for clubs. Sometimes our sponsor will use it to let us know about a meeting, and sometimes I use it to plan things with other members of the clubs.

Please bring this back it helps with me and my friends connect and be able to coordinate events school in school for the friends that we have that do not have cell phones. Schoology does not cut it to what we need to do for we need something fast and reliable to use unlike schoology who barely runs and when it does it never runs correctly*

Hangouts is a very fast and reliable way in which I can communicate with people to not be as far behind when I miss a day of school and also allows me to quickly communicate with fellow students to get help on assignments.

I wish this was more eloquently worded, but I do think that Hangouts is very beneficial to students when utilized correctly, especially as an effective and nearly-instant method of communication for group projects or the coordination of school activities.

Bring it back. Group calls for study sessions are important. Hangouts isn't just for messing around. We use it as a tool, as do some teachers.

Why take it away when we can use it to arrange rides home and collaborate on projects when we don´t have connection with our phones
