Student PAL Accounts and Passwords – Summer 2018

Posted June 28, 2018

In order to avoid issues over the summer and minimize support requests in September, the following changes will be taking place with respect to student passwords:

  • Password settings for all secondary students (including those who are coming into grade 9) will be reset so that student passwords do not expire between June ​29​ and ​October​ 15, 2018.
  • Password expiry will be turned on ​October 15, 2018.
  • Therefore, it will be essential that all students (grade 9 through 12) update their passwords when they return to school before ​October 15, 2018.

Students who are graduating this year or are leaving the WRDSB – please ensure you back up any required material from your WRDSB Google Drive/Email prior to the end of June as your accounts will be shut down over the summer.
