Did her school provide her with VPN access to their network?

No. They provide a web page with a login and tools, and they provide
Gmail for groups.

Then they could well be breaking GDPR rules. No "personal information"
should be stored on, nor sent via, unsecured mechanisms - personal info
includes students' details. Email is not a secure mechanism by any stretch
of the imagination.

Well, "Gmail for groups" claims privacy, it is not the same as "personal
Gmail". Problem is, the students themselves don't seem to have an
account there, so email to them would be "on the wild".

irony mode on.

However, politicians wrote a law that orders email to be private and
that nobody can read it. Who cares if email is not really so? As far as
they care, they ordered it to be secure, under penalty of imprisonment.
If anyone reads the wrong email, he can go to prison. Problem solved.

:-P
