This is a petition for the Batavia School District 101 to reverse its recent policy decision to prevent students from sending emails to addresses outside of the BPS101 domain. This is unacceptable, as many students have a need to send emails to their parents, as well as outside organizations, students from other schools, etc. Please sign this petition so that we may reverse this policy and return to us the basic ability to contact our parents. Thank you.

The emails I receive from students struggling to reach their families because of this policy are exhausting to read. I am still trying to get a response from the administration but their silence is exhausting. We are not going to stop pushing until this access is restored.

Reaching this point has been exhausting but seeing so many people agree that we deserve basic communication access keeps me moving forward. I am drained by the resistance from the district yet I know we have to keep pushing until this policy changes.

This policy is inhibiting the lives of all students. This policy prohibits any form of communication and all attempts at combining your social and school lives, and if forces students who rely on emails for communication to lose much needed money on cell phone usage.
Really? Now if you need to use a school project on a personal computer or even for clubs where things are needed from programs not available on the chromebooks. Through this policy students without phones cannot contact their parents inside of school, can't receive emails for confirming logins for IXL or even contact anyone without a school email.
This does not seem to be a good policy. People who have used their email to contact colleges now can't contact them for scholarships. Also for the swim teams position. We have to go to West Chicago for our practice, if something came up they would have to send an email to us so we know what is going on.
This policy effectively makes our emails useless. This cuts off communication with parents, other students outside the school district, as well as colleges which are vital to our futures and our success in our future education endeavors. It is imperative that this be fixed now.
I am concerned because this prevents us students from communicating with scholarships and college admissions officers, vital for those of us in junior or senior year. We also cannot hear from colleges that are wishing to let us know reminders for deadlines and even whether we got in.
you guys are so stupid- they fixed it.
This policy is ridiculous. I use my school email for college, scholarships, and work. I believe that there is no reason we can only email bps101 staff and students.

The policy that you are enforcing is one of isolation. By cutting off the school emails from those in the public you cannot use it to apply for jobs, colleges or even maintain correspondence with those in the world around you. This may sound like an extreme telling but not all students have email accounts of their own or just don't like giving it out to others due to reasons spanning from privacy to poor naming from when they were young. This policy also prohibits communication with parents or even sending yourself files from personal projects.
