Self Service Portal ● Students who have not enrolled in the self-service password system MUST be able to access a district computer to change their password. ● To reset a password on a district computer, the user should login using current login and password. The user will be prompted to change their password. ● YOU can also use this from anywhere to reset your password!! ● Students who have enrolled can change their password from any device (personal or district) by using the self-service password system.

Account Reminders Students still not able to get into google, but can get into the computer and Schoology just fine? Do they see the error message shown below? Talk to Laurie Rath to see if students do or do not have access! Students who do not have Google access approved MUST get parents to fill out THIS FORM in order to access google drive, docs, forms, sheets, presentations, etc.!

EOY Checklist ● Remember to shutdown ALL computers before leaving for the summer! ● Store all important files from your C:Drive and Desktop to your H:Drive! All files not on the H:Drive will be deleted over the summer. ○ Make sure your computer area is accessible for technicians. ● Ipads need to be turned into Kimberly Rife. Each iPad needs to have the checklist that was placed in your box (5/16) completed and attached (scotch taped) to the screen of the iPad. ○ You will also need to turn in all of your iPad power cords and chargers with your iPads. ○ If you have a designated Teacher Ipad PLEASE Label that for me. Technology needs to know. ● Change your password BEFORE leaving school! If it expires during the summer, you will need to go to the technology office to fix it. ○ {To change your password, just hold down Ctrl + Alt + Delete while logged into your computer and choose Change Password from the list of options.} To avoid this issue completely, be sure you have signed up for the Self Service Portal where you can change your password from anywhere at anytime. Directions for doing so can be found HERE.
