The 2019-20 school year will bring some changes to the way
students log-in to Skyward Student Access, the district computers,
and Microsoft Office 365. The new username and password
information are as follows:

The meeting schedule of the Brentwood Board of School Directors for the remainder of the 2019 calendar year is as follows:
Username: [e-mail]
Password: student id#
If there are issues with logging into these accounts, please
contact a teacher. These changes were made to streamline the
district’s portals in which students access daily. The system that
the district will use for a Single Sign-On solution is called Clever.
The students will login to a designated district website for Clever,
and a list of apps that their teachers use for classes will appear on
the dashboard. The students will then be able to click on each
icon and be asked to login using credentials that the district has
set-up for them. This will be for the first-time students’ login to
the app only. Each time after, the students will be able to click on
the app and already be logged in. With these changes made over
the summer, it should create more ease of use for students and
teachers to use district web portals.
Student Information Release Opt-Out
Federal Public Law 114-95, Section 8528 of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)
requires school districts to release student names, addresses, and telephone numbers to
military recruiters upon request. The law also requires school districts to notify students
and parents of their right to “opt-out” of having this information released to military
recruiters. If you would like to exercise your right to “opt-out,” please submit this request
in writing to your child’s building principal as soon as possible.
