Changing Your School Password

SAU #19 students and staff can change their computer passwords by using the link below:


The password complexity and length requirements vary by grade, and are listed below:

Grades K-4:
Passwords are assigned by the school and students typically do not have the ability to change them on their own.  These Passwords are 9 characters, containing uppercase, lowercase, numbers or symbols (containing 3 of the 4 criteria).

Grades 5-8:
Passwords must be at least 10 characters, containing uppercase, lowercase, numbers or symbols (containing 3 of the 4 criteria).  Students will need to change their passwords every 2-years (Typically at the start of Grades 5 & 7).

Grades 9-12:
Passwords must be at least 12 characters, containing uppercase, lowercase, numbers or symbols (containing 3 of the 4 criteria).  Students will need to change their passwords every 2-years (Typically at the start of Grades 9 & 11).

Staff:
Passwords must be at least 12 characters, containing uppercase, lowercase, numbers or symbols (containing 3 of the 4 criteria).  Staff will need to change their passwords every 12-months unless the account is protected with MFA.  Staff users with MFA protected accounts will only need to change their password if impacted by a cyber event or every 5-years (whichever happens first).

Please note: 
1. When changing your password using the above link, it can take upwards to 30-minutes for the new password to become active across all of our cloud-hosted systems.
2. Don't forget to update any apps (like Outlook or Google, or Schoology) that save your password afterwards.
