Technology Orientation

Everett Public Schools equips staff and students with technology that enhances learning and work, connecting each member of the district community in leveraging technology to engage deeply in creation, collaboration, and connection. In our district we utilize both Office 365 for Education and Google for Education environments.

Beginning in Everett Public Schools is a process of discovery. Understanding the district's infrastructure and supports includes both the physical buildings and the digital pathways.
Technology use is supported by our community and digital safety and cybersecurity are important components to strong, reliable service. Everett Public Schools Board of Directors has approved a set of Technology-Related Policies and Procedures to assure staff and students are both responsible and protected. Appropriate use guidelines are key and outlined here in these key board policies.

Getting Started
-
Joining the Everett Public Schools community begins for students with enrollment into one of our schools and being set to active in our student information system (eSchool PLUS).
If set to active in the morning, the students account is set up for their student number to allow them log in to a district computer. Overnight - active students are set up with a variety of core tools. Once accounts are created, the student can be scheduled and if their classes are active then course-specific digital resources are made available overnight.

Students Digital Exit

Joining the Everett Public Schools community begins for staff once Human Resources confirms paperwork is submitted and employees are added to BusinessPlus.
Substitutes, student teachers, contracters, guests and itinerant staff must first complete paperwork appropriate to their role and then the sponsoring department will work with Human Resources to request account activation.
Once active - staff are provided access and by contract asked to keep their password secure as permissions to systems are unique to each employee and guided by board policies and procedures. Protecting staff and student information is key to digital security.
Employee will be provided:
- Log in to computer including district ID# (six digits) and initial temporary password. Staff will be asked to reset password upon initial log in.

Canvas: Hub of Resources
Canvas is our district's Learning Management System and is used to house staff resources, training, and teacher-student courses. It also contains portals which serve to house training for many groups including office and instructional staff. Currently all staff are enrolled in the EPS Portal which serves as a starting place for general training and a link to the Digital Tools Poral. Canvas log ins for most staff groups are automatic but if you are not able to log in from our custom link - please open a HelpDesk Web ticket.
