K-2 Students As of Fall 2010, all K-2 students now have an individual district logon:

The first two characters of all student accounts are s-

The remainder of the account name is composed of the first letter of the first name plus the last name for a maximum of 20 characters. If the account is a duplicate then we follow the algorithm until it’s unique.

The password is 123456aA

K-2 Students are unable to change that password and it is the same for every child.

3-6 Students As of Fall 2010, all 3rd grade students now have an individual logon.

Students in grades 3-6 have the standard username/password protocol:

The first two characters of all student accounts are s-.

The remainder of the account name is composed of the first letter of the first name plus the last name for a maximum of 20 characters. If the account is a duplicate then we follow the algorithm until it’s unique.

The initial password is s# (lower case s followed by the pound sign) followed by the last four digits of the student’s 6-digit student ID.

They are required to change this password upon the first successful logon.

Student passwords must adhere to the same rules as staff passwords. Due to security risks Helpdesk is not authorized to change student passwords. Check with your teacher librarian first for help with student passwords.

Passwords must meet the following guidelines:

It must contain eight or more characters It must contain at least ONE capital letter AND one symbol or number. You may not use a part of your name in your password. Your password will expire every 90 days and five original passwords must be created before you can repeat one. Do not share your password with students for any reason.

When the student enters the system, they will have access to the student book, to any messages from his/her teacher, and they can also explore the various topics at their own pace.

As the teacher begins to assign lessons, activities, and assessments for your child, the explore icon turns into a “to do” icon.

When your child clicks “To Do”, he or she will see the assignments and assessments that the teacher has assigned. He/she can navigate back to home, or to explore the content using the three tabs at the top. Click on the name of the lesson to complete. A new window will open.
