As of August 23, 2021, all K-8 student passwords have been reset for the accounts detailed below to prepare the 1st day of school. Parents can view the updated student passwords referenced below via the desktop version of their Parent PowerSchool Account. Password will be listed in the BUS INFO tab on the left hand navigation.
As technology is distributed, we ask that students do the following:
- Verify Account Access by following the steps below.
Please reach each section carefully. Our younger students will need parent help to complete this process. Even our older students will need parent assistance as passwords for K-8 may only be found in the Parent PowerSchool account. - Register for Self Service Password Reset.
Taking a moment to complete this important step now will help avoid frustration later in the event of a password issue.
To begin, for grades K-8, ask a Parent to log into the PowerSchool account via the computer and click on the BUS INFO tab to view the updated passwords.
You will see that three sets of account information are displayed:
- Computer/Microsoft Account: This username and password combination is used to access the laptop or Chromebook when the device is turned on for use. The password shown here is the initial password to start the year. This account information is linked to many of our learning management systems district wide, including the student’s PowerSchool account. When this password changes, the password will also change for those linked systems as well.
- Goggle/G Suite Account: This username and password combination shown is used to access the Google G Suite for Education system that students will use to complete course work and communicate with staff members and students. It includes email, Docs, Slides, Sheets, and Presentations. (Note: As a security and internet safety measure, students in grades K-8 cannot use their PTSDWebapps.com account to send or receive email from any email address outside of the district.)
- Canvas Student Account: This username and password combination shown is used by your student to access the Canvas system. The Canvas system will serve as the main portal for accessing class content, asynchronous learning demonstrations, and synchronous learning activities through the conferencing system. Students will access the system using the PTSD Canvas Portal (https://ptsd.instructure.com) (Note: Parents/Guardians use a separate address to access their observer accounts. The observer account can be found at https://ptsd.instructure.com/login/canvas)
