Important Update: Student Accounts Disabled Nightly

Beginning May 12th, student accounts will be unavailable from 11:00 pm to 5:00 am daily. This is a new initiative we're implementing to encourage students to unplug and rest.


We believe it is essential for students to take breaks from technology and prioritize their physical and mental well-being. By disabling their accounts during these hours, we hope to encourage them to disconnect and focus on other activities that promote relaxation and rejuvenation.


Please note that during this time, students will not be able to access their accounts and other resources from District-issued devices.


We appreciate your support in this initiative, and we believe it will have a positive impact on our students' overall health and well-being. 

Questions: Please email Laura Assem

Wireless Certificate Update
After system updates are applied on the evening of Monday, May 8th, some devices (Mac, iPad’s, Personal BYOD) will require you to accept a new certificate before they are able to reconnect back to the District network. If you have any problems or issues, please feel free to contact the helpdesk.
