Email Signature

Thank you for taking a few moments to update your email signature!

Please use your PC laptop or PC desktop computer to make this update.
* This signature does not work with iPhone Mac Mail.

You can only use a PC and Gmail to add the signature since using iPhone / MacMail will result in the email signature logo and text formatting being lost or distorted.

After you update your email signature, make sure your Gmail phone app is updated to the latest version. To use your new signature on mobile, the “Mobile Signature” setting should be turned off — this is the default.
If you send a test email and see an old signature, try turning the “Mobile Signature” setting on, then off again to reset it.

Click once to the left of the Elms College logo. Hold and drag down to begin highlighting the entire email signature template:
