K-5: Each school year, student computer passwords (Kinder-5th) will be reset to Bisd1234.
At the first login to a computer, students will be prompted to create a new password for the year.
This password will need to be created before accessing district resources. The new password
must have at least 8 characters, with one capital letter, one lowercase letter, and one number.
6 - 12: 6th-12th grade students will continue use their password from the previous school year.
If 6th-12th grade students need to reset their password, they will fill out the 6-12th Grade Student Computer Password Change Form. (http://tinyurl.com/bisdpw1718)

The old “BISD-Secure” wireless network is being decommissioned. We will now be utilizing the newer “BISD 5G” and “BISD” networks. Windows computers should automatically be updated to point to the newer networks. On mobile devices such as cellular phones and iPads, you will need to manually add either the “BISD 5G” or “BISD” network, choose BISD 5G first, if it is available (it’s the fastest!). If you need help connecting to the new networks or just need more information about the change, take a look at our Knowledge Base article WiFi BISD5G.
The new single sign-on portal is COMING SOON! Our new single sign-on portal will be
accessible at my.birdvilleschools.net. This portal will allow you to sign in once and access many online resources without having to login to those individual applications - less passwords to remember! We will have several programs in the portal available for use in the next few weeks,
with even more being added throughout the year.

I am a new hire at WT Francisco and DE Smith as the librarian. I am really hoping to get some training and using Skyward as I have a feeling I'm going to be using this a lot. Mr. George Canning
