UPGRADED DISTRICT

PORTAL RELEASED

The upgraded District Portal went live for all students and employees in March
2023. Benefits of the upgraded Portal include:

Cloud-Based: It is cloud-based, so it will remain available to students
and employees even during internal technical outages and planned
Data Center shutdowns. A cloud-based portal also means the vendor is
responsible for disaster recovery and business continuity.

Parent Portal: Parents can be added to the portal with their own
username/password and Persona and without creating/maintaining Active
Directory accounts for each parent.
User Control: Users have more control over the look and feel of their
portal. They have control over the density, tile size, and mode (dark/
light) settings. They also have the ability to mark one or more tiles as
“Favorites”, ensuring it will prominently display on their portal home
screen.
Password Change Function: The upgraded portal includes a Password
Change function in the upper right of the home screen. It allows students
and employees to change their password without assistance from the IT
Service Desk or other technical support staff.

Mobile Friendly: The RapidIdentity portal works better on mobile
devices.

STST/ITSA Elevated Privilege: The updated portal allows School Techs
to have additional levels of access to unlock student and staff accounts
and reset passwords.

The Chrome browser ‘home-page’ of computers within the District network
continues to default to the Portal login page. To access the Portal from home,
go to the District website and click “SIGN IN” at the top right.
To log into the Portal, students and employees
must use their District network
username and password.
