Grade 9 Student Passwords

Posted September 7, 2020

Calling all Grade 9 Panthers!

In order to get student passwords updated on our systems, we require all grade 9 students to reset their password.

This change will take place on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 8th. 

If you are a returning student and still know your current password you can continue to use your account until this change happens.  Please see the attached instructions for further information on activating your account as well as changing your password.  Our staff will assist you with this process on the first day if you have not completed it yourself.  Don’t forget to bring your Chromebook on the first day charged.

Looking forward to a great year!
