Server/Network

Changes to Teacher Login

All staff and student accounts will use their Network Account The Network Account has been

referred to as your remote ASPEN at home login

High schools and administrators are currently using the Network Account

This is the first step in a move toward a single sign-on.

Network AccountHCPSS is moving toward an Active Directory system meaning that one username and password can log the user into many

different systems.

Your Network Account username and password will give you access to:

• Your assigned teacher laptop (Mac OS)

• Your assigned teacher laptop (Windows OS)

• Lab & building computers on the network

• Remote Access (https://ra.hcpss.org) (to use Aspen from home)

You must be at school and on the network to change your passwords.
