Monongalia County students and staff are issued TWO email addresses, one from the state and one from the county. Each email address has a purpose. Please follow these guidelines for student and staff email accounts.
Student Email Addresses: The student's username followed by @stu.k12.wv.us (username@stu.k12.wv.us); a student's email password is the same as the password for their chromebook.
Staff Email Addresses: The staff member's username followed by @k12.wv.us (username@k12.wv.us); a staff member's email password is unique to their email.
This email address should be used for school communication. A link titled "Check Email" can be found at the top of every school's website to direct users to this email address.
To change your email password (for students, this also changes your Chromebook/Google password), follow the steps below.
Enter your full email address with @stu.k12.wv.us (for students) or @k12.wv.us (for staff).
Enter your current password and click "Submit".
Click "Change Password" in the menu bar.
Fill in your current password in the "Old Password" box.
Type in a new password in both the "New Password" box and the "Confirm New Password" box.
If you receive an error message on your Chromebook, sign out and remove your user, then add a new user to sign back in.
Suggestions for making a SECURE password:
Follow the required parameters.
a. At least 8 characters long
b. Have at least one number
c. Have at least one uppercase letter
d. Have at least one lowercase letter
Do not use personal information (i.e. your name, birthday, address, ID number, etc.)
Avoid dictionary words- they are easy to hack. Try substituting letters for similar-shaped characters. (i.e. use @ for a, $ for s, 1 for i, 3 for e, etc.)
Keep in mind, technology staff can see your passwords- so keep them appropriate.
Students and staff are also assigned a Google email address.
Student Gmail Addresses: The student's username followed by @boe.mono.k12.wv.us (username@boe.mono.k12.wv.us); a student's Gmail password is the same as the password for their chromebook.
Staff Gmail Addresses: The staff member's username followed by @boe.mono.k12.wv.us (username@boe.mono.k12.wv.us); a staff member's Gmail password is the same as the password for their chromebook.
This email address should be used only to login to G Suite products and to share G Suite documents with other users.
Students and staff should not need to access this email account.
