Microsoft Office 365 (Online)
Georgetown ISD uses Microsoft Office 365's free online educational tools which allow staff and students to create online documents (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, or forms). Students can work individually on their documents, or educators can instruct students to work collaboratively on documents in real time. Students can also store documents online, making their ability to organize and access work more convenient than ever.

What rules must students and employees follow when using Microsoft Office 365?
Microsoft Office 365 accounts fall under Georgetown ISD’s Technology Responsible Use Policy for Students and for Employees, which outlines responsible and appropriate use of school computers, accounts, networks, and systems. Students and employees may access their Microsoft Office 365 accounts from home, but the accounts are intended for educational use, not personal use. District administrators are able to access student accounts when needed, and have the right to monitor account usage and deny access if students are not following the Technology Responsible Use Policy for Students.
