The old email addresses will remain as aliases, and the student will continue to receive all emails sent to them. Students' google drive, email inboxes, and password will remain the same. The only thing that will change is when the student signs into his/her email you will have to type username@wccbears.org. When we update the email addresses we will also update the chromebooks to autocomplete to @wccbears.org. If you have any questions feel free to email Matt Jones at mjones@wccbears.org
