  2. Once the Chrome browser is installed, your child can log into the browser with their PDSB.NET account provided by the school. Go to the https://google.ca and click on the blue "Sign In" button at the top right. When asked to log in, your child should type in 123456@pdsb.net but replace 123456 with her/his Peel student number. The password is the same password your child would use at school to log into a computer there.

  3. Install Microsoft Teams: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app Once the app is downloaded, start the app and your child should sign into Microsoft Teams using their PDSB.NET account provided by the school. When it asks for "sign-in address" your child should type in 123456@pdsb.net but replace 123456 with her/his Peel student number. The password is the same password your child would use at school to log into a computer there.

  4. To use D2L Brightspace or Google Classroom, it is easiest if your child visits this page: https://byod.peelschools.org and logs in using the PDSB.NET account provided by the school. When asked to log in, the child should type in 123456@pdsb.net but replace 123456 with her/his Peel student number. The password is the same password your child would use at school to log into a computer there.

  5. Start the D2L Brightspace or Google Classroom app from the BYOD page. If using Google Classroom, please ask that your child accept the invitation to join our your teacher's Google Classroom called "__.____ - Grade _ (online)" [or similar]

If your child has forgotten her/his password, please email or call your teacher or school principal as soon as possible so that they can begin the process of resetting the password. Sometimes it can be reset in an hour but sometimes can take up to a day.
