Username:
The typical (not all!) username consists of the first 5 letters of the last name followed by the first 3 letters of the first name, followed by a 3 digit number. Someone with a name of JOHN LEE for example will need to fill in the extra characters with spaces. In this case, John Lee with a username of LEE JOH000, will enter “L”, “E”, “E”, space, space, “J”, “O”, “H”, “0”, ”0”, “0”.

Password:
10-16 characters in length including a letter, a number and a special character.

Forgot your username or password?
To get your username and reset your password, click on the “Forgot Your Username or Password” link on the Skyward login page.

Enter your email address on file at the school when prompted.

You will receive a password reset email.

Known issue:
Create a password that is 10-16 characters in length including a letter, a number and a special character. The system allows you to create a password longer than 16 characters, but it only saves up to 16 characters!

Helpful tip:
Your Skyward LOGIN (username) can be found in the password reset email you receive and in the password reset screen.

Student Password

Password management and self-service password reset registration

Mar 7 2025

We recommend all secondary students (including incoming 6th graders) sign up for Self-Service Password Reset options if possible. Secondary student passwords will expire every 90 days (including during summertime) based on the district security cycle. Families can help student(s) start the registration process to manage their district password here.

Students entering grades K-5 will have student email (Microsoft 365) passwords reset every August. Passwords will be available when school begins. For students needing access to this account before school starts, parents are asked to contact Family Tech Access by phone at 425-936-1322. Otherwise, classroom teachers will assist students with username and password setup at start of school.

Password guidelines

An acceptable LWSD password must:

Include at least 10 characters.
Include at least one character from three or more of the following categories:
1. Uppercase letter (A-Z)
2. Lowercase letter (a-z)
3. Number (0-9)
4. Special character (symbols or space)
NOT contain any part of your own first or last name, login ID or email address.
NOT be a previously used password.

Use a passphrase to help remember your password. Example: You're a Wizard Harry! is a 22-character password with five special characters.
