How To: Forwarding Student Email Account to Staff Email Account

As teachers have a separate email account in the student domain for email communication and Google Drive document sharing.  This can be helpful for keeping student communications separate, but sometimes creates an extra step in opening another tab/window/browser to access that account.  Google provides some flexibility within your accounts and allows you to forward email from one account to another.  This can be helpful in forwarding your email from your student account to your staff account.

To forward your email from one Google account to another Google account:

1. Open the Gmail account that you want to forward from (student account).
2. At the top right, click the gear .
3. Select Settings.
4. Select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
5. Click Add a forwarding address in the “Forwarding” section.
6. Enter the email address you want to forward to (staff email address).
