Most students will be able to logon with their student ID# preceded by NW (Ex: NW777777) and PIN 1234. If you are new to the district this year, your account should be ready by the end of September. See your teacher for a temporary logon in the meantime. If you are having trouble accessing your account email your name, student ID#, and issue to Ms. Miller at bmiller@nwlsd.org.
