2. Updating our Email Signatures

OUR OBJECTIVE: Participants will demonstrate an understanding of accessing email signatures on their various school devices by updating their email signatures to include the non-discrimination statement provided by our building leaders.

Whether we already have an email signature or not on our various devices, we now NEED to have at least the statement of non-discrimination for an upcoming Office of Civil Rights audit. Here are instructions for almost any device you might be using. Please ignore any situations that do not pertain to how you use email!



Adding Non-Discriminatory Statement to School Email on Laptop (video):



If You Use the EXCHANGE WEB MAIL LINK ON THE INTRANET PAGE to Access School Email Inside or Outside of School –
Copy the Non-Discriminatory Statement from an email (or copy your entire signature, including the statement from one of your own emails)
Click on the link and log in
Click on Options in the upper right
Paste in the statement
Click on Save in the upper left


Adding Non-Discriminatory Statement on iPad or iPhone –
Copy the disclaimer from Ms. Feist's email on your iPad
Go to Settings (grey gear)
Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Scroll down to Signature (about 3/4 way down)
Might need to click Per Account here to get all your email signature lines to open
Paste disclaimer into appropriate box for school email and school gmail

Adding Non-Discriminatory Statement on School Gmail on Laptop (do this in Chrome or Internet Explorer, not Firefox) –
Open up Gmail on your laptop
Click on the small grey gear icon in the upper right of the screen
Click on Settings
Scroll down this screen until you see Signature on the left. Unclick No Signature & paste in the Non-Discrimination statement in the box
Scroll to bottom of page and click Save Changes

IF YOU USE THE GMAIL APP ON YOUR IPAD OR IPHONE (in addition to the regular email app or instead of the regular email app) –
Your iPad is PROBABLY set to use your desktop Gmail signature by default, but YOU CAN’T SEE THIS AT ALL IN THE APP! To test this, send an email from your Gmail app on your iPad or iPhone to your school email account. Open the email to see if the signature line is in place.

If the signature line doesn’t show up as it should, click on the 3 horizontal lines in the upper left in the app, and then click on the gear icon beside your name. On this popup, check to see that mobile signature is turned off.

If the mobile signature is turned off, and you STILL can’t see your desktop signature when you send an email (in the opened, sent email; you WILL NOT see it on the Gmail app screen at all), then you may need to go out of the app and come back in to refresh it, or sign out with your school gmail account and sign back in to refresh it.


Adding the Non-Discrimination Statement to Replies & Forwarded Emails in School Email (Yellow Microsoft Outlook icon) – this is OPTIONAL! –
