Hazards
It is important to remember the following points about email:

• Email is meant for informal correspondence to facilitate administrative work at Sage Ridge School, as well as scholarly, scientific, and clinical communications.
• You should not use email for official record-keeping purposes. Email messages containing public record material should be printed out and filed.
• Email should not be considered private. Confidential information should not be sent by email.
• While every effort is made to deliver email reliably and quickly, the volume and the routing patterns sometimes cause delays or even lost mail. If you are not sure your message got through, it is a good idea to check.

Etiquette
If you receive a message that seems out of character for the sender, double-check before taking it seriously.

Email does not show subtleties of voice or body language. If you ever receive a message that makes you angry, do not under any circumstances respond immediately! Wait awhile to cool off, and if possible, meet and talk face-to-face.

Other email etiquette tips:

• Email can be misdirected, even when you are careful. Do not put something in an email message that you would not want read by everybody. And if you get someone else's message, let the sender know.
• Email is easily forwarded to someone else. Although this is convenient, it is not always appropriate. If you are unsure, ask the sender before forwarding the message.
• Email replies may go to more people than you realize. When replying to a message, be sure to look at the list of recipients.
• Email can be junk mail. Each recipient gets to decide if a message is "junk," so avoid unnecessary proliferation of messages.
• Email takes up disk space, so delete messages you no longer need.

When you leave your computer unattended you should either logout or make sure your PC keyboard is locked in order to prevent unauthorized use of your account.
