Website Under Construction - Refresh for Updates
The PAUSD ID Portal is the main district website for all district employees. This site has links for many online resources available to you as a staff member of the Palo Alto Unified School District. Continue reading down the page to learn about the different application links on this site where you can access important information. Check out the video directly below for login instructions.
To go directly to the PAUSD ID Portal, click here: https://id.pausd.org. This website works best on the Chrome or Firefox browsers, it does not work well on the Safari browser for Apple computers. You can always find the link to sign in on the www.pausd.org website, just click ID Portal on that page.
Your district Outlook Email account is where you will get messages sent to all employees of the adult school and the school district, including information about required training for all district employees. You can also access this email outside of the ID Portal. See the EMAIL details page for instructions on how to get your email outside the ID Portal and even on your smartphone.
Inside the ID Portal this application icon says Office 365 (Webmail) Email (Required Login), but it will open as Outlook Email page. You will need to sign in the first time you use this link using the same user name and password you used to open the ID Portal. When you do, click the "remember me" option so that your password will be remembered the next time you use this entry point for email (via the ID Portal).
Your PAUSD Google Drive account can only be accessed from the ID Portal; you cannot login to Google with your PAUSD ID to access any files here - you must enter via the ID Portal.
If you have created documents here, or are looking for documents shared with you by your PAUSD colleagues, or Shared Drive files, they are all accessible via this portal.
You can access your paystubs and W2s from this site. You will need to create a login ID and password to use it. If you have read through the registration guide below but still can't login, contact the PAUSD HR office for more help at (650) 329-3784.

You can always access the ID Portal from this page if you lose the direct ID Portal web address at the top of this page. Just click ID Portal on the main page, as seen below circled in red.
