                                              protection is safeguarded by Federal law (F.E.R.P.A.).
                                               Don’t use any word that might appear in a dictionary unless you grossly
                                              misspell it (e.g. instead of wonderful, try wunnerfu11).
                                               Do not give your password away to a colleague, no matter how trusted.
                                              Never write it down and post it on or near your computer -- even if you work
                                              only with young children (think about all the older children and adults who pass
                                              near your workspace in the course of a school year).
                                              By the way, if ever you do forget your own password, call your District’s
                                                 ®
                                              eSIS Help Desk and explain your situation. Someone will reset your password
                                              back to your Username and flag it to expire after the first time it’s used.
