Changing password
- To change your district password:
- While on the school network: press Ctrl Alt Del
- Select “Change a password”
- Enter your old password, then the new one
- If you need or want to change your district password when off our network:
- Go to an Office 365 website such as: outlook.office.com or portal.office.com
- Log in with district email and password

Changing your password off network changes your district password but you’ll need to use your old password to log onto the computer until you get back on the school network.
Tips for a strong password
- Long passwords are stronger, so make your password at least 12 characters
- Use upper and lower case letters as well as numbers and symbols
- Make a password from the first letter of each word in a sentence
- Don’t use names from your life such as children or pets
- Don’t use important dates such as birthdays or anniversaries
Where to find files
- File explorer is like Finder on Mac
- We recommend saving files to a cloud drive such as One Drive so if you ever lose your computer, you don’t lose the files
- One Drive is already installed on your laptop, you just need find and open the application and log in.
