There are two easy ways to change the password. The best is on one of the school computers. The second is through the Outlook Web Mail.
Password Policy: We encourage all staff to select a password consisting of 8+ characters and a mix of letters and numbers. Having numbers inserted in the middle of the password is more secure than placing it at the beginning or end. Using special characters (!@#$%^&*) also makes a password more secure.
