Technology Resources

Student Username - Your student should know their username from when they log on to computers at school. If they do not, please contact the main office and we can look it up for you. Or contact your child's teacher.
The students password is going to be their birthdate but it has a different form depending on the grade, see below:
QUICK REMINDERS FOR SIGNING ONTO YOUR LAPTOP
-1st thing, plug in your laptop for 15 minutes before doing anything
-Upon turning on your laptop, sign onto your home Wi-Fi BEFORE logging in. Now, it’s important to note that families will have to be connected to their home Wi-Fi in order to login. To do that you will open up the login screen and click the globe button in the bottom right hand corner. If you do not have Wi-Fi or a hotspot you will not be able to login. If the student is not on Wi-Fi it will not work.
If the Wi-Fi is on, and the username and password is correct and you get a message stating that the credential or domain is invalid, there are two options next.
1) Families can put in a tech ticket on the district website using this link. This method will work but it might take time because there are so many people trying to get on new devices.
2) The next easier option would be to go right next to ANY Seattle Public School and connect to the school Wi-Fi to get them into the domain. Once you do this you WILL NOT have to do it again and the laptop should work on their home Wi-Fi. You should be able to stay out front in your car or at least be outside and not have to come in to a building to connect.
PASSWORDS
1. Preschool- 4th Grade Will use only the month and day for the four digit password. Ex. 0530
2. 5th grade- Will use the month date and year for an eight digit password. Ex. 05302009
There are some resources available to help support you in the use of technology:
- Family/caregiver help desk or laptops@seattleschools.org; 206-252-0100
- Resource Centers (8) located across the district that will provide: 1) device support, 2) laptop issue, swap, repairs, 3) hotspot distribution and support, and 4) online applications/software support.
