Information Regarding Student Computer Logins and Gmail Accounts
STUDENT LOGIN:
Your login for computers throughout the school (laptops, netbooks, computer
labs, and library) follow this format:
2-DIGIT YEAR OF GRADUATION . . . FIRST INITIAL . . . LAST NAME
For example:
· A senior named Jim Smith will have the login 15jsmith
· A freshman named Vicki Cruz will have the login 18vcruz
After you enter your login, you will be prompted to enter your password. Upon your first login, the password required is “PEABODY.” Once you have entered it, you will be asked to create a new password in order to secure your account. Please write this new password down so you can have easy access to it in case you forget – the process to retrieve your password is complicated and time consuming.
