Since students may not have access to email at home and because some schools do not issue school email accounts, one solution may be to create sub accounts.
How it works:
You sign up for a Gmail account. This is your teacher account, not a personal email account.
Add new other email addresses to the account in the settings menu.
Each student should be assigned a sub account linked to your teacher account. To create these sub-accounts, add a plus sign and the student's name after your name and before the @gmail.com.
krajiceks @ gmail.com
becomes
krajiceks+stephanie @ gmail.com

* Remember to check your school's Acceptable Use Policy and to review Google's Terms of Service before jumping in. Sending home a letter of intent / permission slip isn't a bad idea, either.

Online Translators
I found a list of online translators (scroll down, the list is on the left in a baby blue field), but I can't vouch for their worth. If you have documents that you need translated and are loathe to use one of these, I would suggest:
- contacting a Spanish teacher in your school district for help...
- asking your students' parents to help...
- contacting the foreign language teacher preparation professors at colleges or universities near you...
- looking for documents that other schools have already written and translated for your own use...
