On a laptop or PC

  1. Use a web browser to navigate to gmail.com.  Note: If you are not using a Chromebook, we have found that using the Chrome web browser works best.  If you don't have Chrome, use Firefox.  Using Internet Explorer tends to lead to problems.
  2. Your student's username is their school-issued student email address. The format is: firstname.lastnameXX@stalbert.org, where ‘XX’ is the last two digits of their 8th grade graduation year.
  3. Meaning: if Luke Skywalker is in 6th grade (Class of 2018) then his email address is luke.skywalker18@stalbert.org.
  4. Your student almost certainly knows their password (they use it to login on school devices quite frequently).

On a phone / tablet / mobile device:

  1. You can use the above procedure to login to gmail.com in a web browser.
  2. But for a better experience, download and launch the free Google apps (e.g., Gmail, Google Drive, ...etc.).  Login with the same email address and password that you would login with on the gmail.com web site.
  • The apps will tend to work better accessing Google's tools (vs. accessing the same tools in a web browser on the mobile device)
