Student Usernames and Passwords
Student Usernames
In August 2019, all student user names changed to a new format to enable students to keep their same username throughout their enrollment in Seattle Public Schools.
Please visit The Source to obtain student user names. New students will receive their user name and default password from their school. If you need to login before in-person classes begin, please contact your school for assistance.
Student Username Example
Student Name: Joe William Smith
Student Username: 1jwsmith (‘1,’ first name initial, middle name initial, last name)
Students who have similar names will have slight changes to this format. Read more about alternate student usernames.
Student Email: 1jwsmith@seattleschools.org

Student usernames standards: Prior to August 2019, student usernames were XYZ_jwsmith. The 3-letter prefix and underscore were replaced by the number 1. For example “XYZ_jwsmith” becomes “1jwsmith.”
If you had numbers at the end of your username, for example, “XYZ_gcwashington002.” The new format will remove the leading ‘0’s and, in this example, your new username will be: “1gcwashington2.”
