Student Access
Student Passwords
Student passwords will not be changed for the start of the school year. Students can continue to use their existing password until later in the fall when the district performs a password reset on student accounts. The district will be notifying families of their childrens’ usernames and passwords before the start of school via ConnectED. If you do not receive a password email, please use ParentVUE to update your information or contact the school.
ParentVUE
Parents should receive information via email to set up their ParentVUE accounts. We thank you in advance for keeping your critical contact information up-to-date!
