All Elementary and 6th grade student passwords are changed for the 2023-24 school year on August 14.

• Only elementary school and incoming 6th graders (and new students enrolled August 14 or later) must use the new Default Password
• All returning students in grades 7-12 (includes 9th graders entering high school) will use their current district password they created at the last 90 day reset cycle.
• New students to LWSD enrolled between the end of June and August 14 should use the previously assigned default password (23Stu#1234567 where 1234567 represents the student ID#)

Default password format: 24Stu#1234567
(The student's 7-digit ID number should be used instead of 1234567)

K-2 student passwords will not expire.

• Hold Ctrl+Alt+Delete to change passwords.
• If primary teachers/students change the passwords, they will need to follow the district's password guidelines (see below)
• Primary student passwords will not expire, even if they are changed.

The default password must change each year, as required by Washington State.

Students in grades 3-12 will be prompted to change their passwords at first login.

• Students in grades 3-12 will be prompted every 90 days from the date of the last password change to reset their password (or sooner if intrusion attempts are detected).

Password guidelines:

Passwords must be at least 10 characters long and contain at least one (1) character from the following categories:

• UPPER CASE LETTER (A-Z)
• Lower case letter (a-z)
• Number (0-9)
• Special Character (~ ! @ # $ % ^ & + =)
• Note: These characters cannot be used * [ ] \ | : ? / < > 

Passwords must not contain part of your name, login ID or email address. Previous passwords will not work and cannot be reused.

Students can change their passwords using Office 365 off site.
