Logging into the network (Staff and student)

  • Both students and staff have accounts in the Port Angeles School District Windows domain
  • Staff accounts are normally first initial, last name
  • Student accounts are their other ID in Skyward (all seven digits). Email me if you need help with student accounts. jblauser@portangelesschools.org

Changing passwords

  • Please change your password at least once a year. If you haven’t changed yet since you got your account setup, please change it now.  Once logged in press CTRL+ALT+DEL and select change password.

Save to S:

  • All faculty map a drive to their home folder on the server. Tech would like the S: drive to be you primary location when saving files.This provides for nightly backups and access from any computer on the district network.

District applications

Faculty and students have account in the programs listed below. Please contact your building Tech for help accessing these programs.

  • MobyMax
  • TypingClub.com
  • Office365 and Google.
  • All faculty and students have accounts in Office 365 and Google
  • Office 365 accounts are synched with our domain and match username and password with domain account. Staff accounts are in the domain portangelesschools.org and student accounts are in the domain ms.pasd.wednet.edu
  • Google domain gg.pasd.wednet.edu are based on the same username as the windows domain accounts but may have a different password. I hope to setup synchronization over the summer so these accounts will always match the windows domain.
  • Teacher websites -We have the ability to create a website for any teacher in the district under their schools webpage. If you would like to have a teacher site please contact the webmaster at webmaster@portangelesschools.org or submit a help desk request to hdesk@portangelesschools.org.

Email Scams and Malware

The district has seen an increase in email scams.  You will never be asked to purchase gift cards or send electronic transfers by anyone in the district.  If you are send a request for one of the items delete the message and do not reply.

We are also seeing an increase in malware.  You can get malware by clicking links in email, installing applications downloaded from the internet, and going to inappropriate/infected websites.  If you are ever in doubt or need software installed contact your building technology coordinator or contact the help desk.
