Back to School Technology Updates by Grade Level
When students return to school, daily technology support will be available in each building. Please refrain from emailing teachers about technical issues with summer updates. Assistance will be provided once your child is back in school.
Returning Students in Grades 10, 11, 12
- ClassLink: The district no longer utilizes Clever to access digital resources. ClassLink is the new platform used for accessing digital resources. ClassLink provides single sign-on access to your digital resources and applications. Classlink can be found in the WJHSD Bookmarks folder in Chrome or by visiting this link: https://launchpad.classlink.com/wjhsd
- Fully charge your Chromebook. Create a routine to charge your device each night so it is fully charged for the next school day. If you do not have a charger, you can purchase one from the district for $30. Please contact [email protected] if interested in purchasing one.
- Updated Passwords: On July 29, 2024, all student passwords were reconfigured to include "Wjhsd," their Student ID (lunch number), followed by an exclamation point in the following format: Wjhsd#####! The password is case sensitive. For example, if your child’s lunch number is 12345, their new password will be Wjhsd12345! If your child knows their lunch code (Student ID), they can log in using their existing student email address and the new password format now. If your child does not know their lunch code (Student ID), you can find it in their student profile in Skyward.
