Tardy Update
This Wednesday we saw a marked decrease in the number of students who were tardy but we still have approximately 10% of our students who are late to first period. We hope that you will continue to partner with us by having a conversation with your student about their morning routine and timeline to avoid being late. We understand that the traffic is very heavy from 7:20 and 7:45 a.m., please work with your student to develop a plan to be in class on time.
STUDENT PASSWORD RESET
Regular password resets help ensure your account stays safe and secure. We encourage you to change your passwords
a minimum once a year.
Recently we had student's reset the password for their school account. Some students did not complete this task and we wanted to let you know that their password will soon be expiring.
- Password expiration is staggered in two week stages by grade level from 9th grade - 12th grade:
9th Grade- completed
10th Grade - November 17th
11th Grade - December 1st
12th grade - December 15th
Students will receive email notification of upcoming password expiration and directions to complete the password reset process
- Once it expires you will not be able to logon to critical district resources like Google or Infinite Campus.
- Complete information may be found in the DCSD Password Project Parent Email
- Password Reset
Drive Safe Week is November 3-7
