Self-Serve Password Reset

We have setup a self-serve password reset to enable you to reset your password if you are at home or away from the district.

If you need your password reset while on a district computer you will still need to contact the IT Department. Please be prepared with your employee ID number as we cannot reset your password without it.

Before you can use the password reset tool you will need to enter some personal information that only you would know, similar to setting up online banking.

You can complete the setup on any computer, including a district computer, by clicking on this link.

You will need to enter some information so we can confirm who you are if you ever need to reset your password such as;

• A mobile phone number to get a text.

• An alternate email address to your district address. (such as a personal Microsoft or Google email, service provider email such as Telus, Eastlink, etc.)

• Security questions which only you would know.

Once you have set this up, if you ever forget your password, you will be able to reset it from home or any other non-district computer.

Just click here to start the reset process and click on "Can't Access Your Account?"

All students are required to sign the Grande Prairie Public School District ‘Student Responsible Use of Technology Guidelines and Agreement’. The agreement covers ‘General Use of Technology’, ‘Use of Personal Computing Devices at School’, and ‘Use of Cloud Based Applications and Google Apps for Education’.

School computers are to be used for school based or school related activities. Network storage areas may be assigned to individual students but will remain the property of the school. Network administrators may review files and communications to maintain system integrity and to ensure that users are using the system responsibly.

Students are expected to model positive Digital Citizenship. Due to the nature of the Internet, it is possible to encounter material that is controversial, inappropriate and/or offensive. It is the student‘s responsibility not to initiate access to such material and to leave locations of undesirable material immediately. Loss of access privileges may result for individuals who fail to adhere to these guidelines.

Electronic Devices Cell phones should not be used during class time unless directed to do so by the classroom teacher. Students who are asked to put away such devices during class time must comply with the teacher’s request. Students not complying with expectations are communicating a defiance of the classroom expectations and will be dealt with in a disciplinary manner.

Students are reminded that use of District Wi-Fi is governed by the Grande Prairie Public School District ‘Student Responsible Use of Technology Guidelines and Agreement’. Parents who must contact their children during class time should call the school office.
