Student Google Workspace Accounts

Over the summer we migrated all existing student accounts from the @psbma.org domain to @brooklinek12.org.  So instead of logging in with their username@psbma,org, students will now log in with their username@brooklinek12.org. If your child is in grades 4-8 then their password should remain the same. 

If your child is new to Brookline or in grades K-3, your child will need to activate their account. Information required to activate your child’s account can be found in a variety of ways:

1. Student Account Info Sheet: This document is being distributed when students pick up their school-issued chromebook. The document includes the student’s full account address and activation password. 

2. Aspen Parent Portal ( Parent directions for Accessing the Parent Portal )

   1. Log into the Aspen Parent Portal

   2. Locate the following information from your child’s record 

      1. Students Primary Email address

      2. Student Local Identifier # (LASID)

1. Open a  browser, preferably Google Chrome

2. Go to google.com, click sign in (Blue button in upper right hand corner)

3. Enter full account address, click Next

4. Enter password

   1. Password = the lowercase letters “psb” followed by the LASID#

Example: psb1001234

1. 2. Notes:

      1. Students in K-3 will maintain the initial password

      2. Students in 4-8 will be prompted to set up their own password

      3. If students can access their G-Suite account, they will be successful logging into a school chromebook.
