Hey Evan_S, sorry to hear about this.

 

Have you tried getting in touch with your previous school district to see if you can regain access or re-create the email address in question? 

 

If that's not an option at this time, let us know here and we'll reach out via the email address you have linked to your profile here, on the Community.
