Google Accounts - We dropped the "G"
We have dropped the “g.” out of the Birdville Google logins! Everyone will now use their district email address and current google password to log into Google resources. Our technology team is also working on eliminating the separate google password as well and will provide more details in the next few days.
As a reminder: New BISD Computer and Google accounts are being created for all students. More information will be shared with principals and campus administrators next week at Admin University.

Getting SPAM E-mail Messages?The district has a no-spam mailbox setup for you to forward unwanted 'SPAM' messages to. If you receive a message in your inbox that you feel is junk mail, you can "forward" a copy of it to : nospam@birdvilleschools.net - we will review the message and unsubscribe or block as needed. After forwarding the spam message, you can remove it (delete) from your inbox.
