Nope. If you change your ownership to your private email. It is yours.
I think you can request a new domain name. But I think you have to contact the google help desk.
I was able to copy the site and then delete my school email as administrator. It automatically assigned me a new domain name, so I am very happy! Thanks for the help.
Our schools have websites for the teachers, but for the elementary school, many teachers also send a mass email with the peek of the week for their classroom. I think it is grade level not particular class, but there are a few differences from class to class. I think they often send it home in the kids folders as well.

I ended up with just a basic newsletter with pics of class projects, reminders, important dates, what's coming up, once a week to parents.
It's Early Childhood Education so there's no need to be too detailed.
A lot of parents have said they appreciate the e-mail, takes the "work" out of it for them (always forgetting to check the website).
As a parent, I would like to put in a request for elementary, middle & high school teachers: please use whatever on-line learning environment the district provides, if at all possible. Yes, I know it creates problems if you move on, but trying to track a dozen or more websites, all of which have different formats, in addition to getting through an evening of laundry, dinner, activities, etc. is overwhelming. And, since many of you also have children, I'm fairly certain you can relate. Have mercy on us, and use Schoology, Blackboard, or whatever else your district has licensed, so we can keep up, because we really do want to support you as you educate our children.

But by high school (really by late middle school) kids should be in charge of their own educations and there is no reason for you to be going on their teachers websites anymore. At least not on a nightly basis.
I will use which ever platform beat serves my and my students needs. Parents rank third in that list. That is exactly what will happen in college and beyond by the way. And the vast majority of students have no problems accessing the appropriate website for each class.
There is no winning as a parent. Whatever we do, it's wrong. If we're involved, we're hovering. If we're uninvolved, we're neglectful. I really wish there was some sort of rule book.

Really? For high school students have you seen any teachers posting that we want parents to be checking homework anymore? Micromanaging projects? Really anything like that for high school kids? If love to see those posts too.
Look, involved in high school means talk to your kids, check grades once or twice a marking period. If you see a problem we haven't contacted you about feel free to email us. If we email you, please respond but why do you not see that as kids get older they should take more and more of the educational reins?
Let's not make this thread all about the students you're teaching, lkb, because I agree that they should be mostly self-sufficient by that point, but there's a long road to senior year. Along the way, we parents provide a ton of support. The OP started a thread about keeping us informed, and I made a request that I think will facilitate that process. That is all.
