IT would like to inform schools that the annual student account password reset will take place beginning at the end of business on July 31, 2026, and will be completed by 6:00 PM on Aug. 2, 2026. This security process has been conducted annually since 2013 to maintain district security standards.

What to Expect

• Student temporary passwords will be reset to PassXXXX (where XXXX is the last four digits of the student's ID number).
• Students will be prompted to create a new password within 10 minutes of logging into any district device. If a student is not prompted at initial sign-in, please have them sign in to a Microsoft 365 application such as Teams or Outlook, where they will be prompted to change their password.

Mass Password Reset Requests

Schools requiring five (5) or more password changes must submit a request through the Service Desk. Requested passwords must meet district security requirements:

• Minimum of 8 characters
• At least 1 uppercase letter
• At least 1 number or special character
• Cannot be a date of birth, a common password shared by multiple students, or anything easily guessed by peers

New Password Reset Reporting

Beginning this school year, IT will provide Academic Leadership with monthly password reset progress reports. These reports will help identify students who may not have accessed district devices or curriculum resources prior to testing windows and reduce the need for large-scale password reset requests during testing periods. We encourage schools to share this information with staff members to ensure everyone understands and follows the correct password reset process.

Thank you for your partnership in maintaining a secure learning environment.
