User Accounts

 

 

The following instructions explain how to change your user password from the assigned district default.

It is recommended that staff and students reset their passwords as soon as possible for greater security.

Once these steps are completed you will have created password reset security questions and updated your user password in our Active Directory.

The password change will impact the following services you access:

  • PaperCut for printing
  • OwnCloud
  • WiFi access students
  • WiFi access staff (later in the school year no changes at present unless your school has been notified and trained)
  • Office 365

*Email passwords are still managed through the webmail system as a separate directory and will not be changed by following these steps.
