Hello! From my survey to students, titled “How’s it going?” (click here to complete, if you have not already), I learned that not everyone knows how to send an email from their student accounts. Here are instructions!
- To send an email, you first need to sign into your Office 365 account. So, go to https://portal.office.com. Then, sign in with your student email (yourpupilnumber@@edu.burnabyschools.ca) and your password. These have been sent to your parents’ email addresses if you do not remember them.
- When you sign in, you will have a page that looks like this. Click on the “Outlook” logo.
- After clicking on “Outlook”, you will be lead to the email server. Click on “New Message” in the top left corner.
- When you have started a new message, it will appear on the right side. Type in the email address of the person you to whom you want to send your email. Type this in the “To” section:
- Include a subject (like a title for your email) in the “Add a subject” section.
- Type your message in the main box.
- Double-check your message, looking for spelling mistakes. Double-check you are sending it to the right person.
- Press send!
Here is an example of what an email should include:
