Portal: Not Connected Message Quick Fix!

Have you seen this Not Connected Message when logging into the portal?

This means you need to connect your Google Account in order to use the Sign in with Google Button.  All portal users, staff and students, need to complete this one-time action if they wish to use the Sign-in with Google Button to access the portal.

Here's how to connect your Google Account.

1. Return to portal login 
2. Login using your regular computer credentials and password and Click Sign-in
   
3. Once inside the portal, visit My Profile > Sign-in Options > Connect Google Account
4. Done!  Now you can access the portal on Chromebooks and other devices where you are signed into Chrome using the Sign in with Google Button.

This short screencast also describes the process of connecting your Google Account.

Reminder: This is a one-time action required of all staff and students who wish to access the portal using the Sign-in with Google Button. 

New Chromebook Landing Page!

Staff and Students logging into a Chromebook will notice a new landing page when you begin using Chrome.  This is our district portal page, powered by ClassLink.

If you or your students have never logged into the portal before enter your username (@wusd.k12.ca.us or @wusdstudents.org is not needed) and your password and click Sign In.

Next, you'll want to Connect your Google Account so you'll be able to use the Sign in with Google Button next time without needing your username and password.

To connect your Google Account, visit My Profile > Sign-in Options > Connect Google Account.

For Staff and MS/HS Students, this is also a great opportunity to set up your Password Recovery Options. Once set up, this will allow you and MS/HS students to manage their own passwords.

Starting this Fall, the portal will be the only way to access different programs and curriculum programs with automated rostering and single sign-on.
