Passwords & School Email Addresses 24th March 2020

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Please check with your student that they have their "Password" to enable them to access their Office 365 school account. They must use their school email address which is their full name in lowercase @ scoilmhuireclane.ie. Students must not try to change their own password as this facility is not available to them. It will probably render their existing password ineffective.
Please send in all requests for new passwords or email queries using the "Parent Note" on our School App. This is the facility that we can use to protect this private information & keep track of this it. We cannot and will not respond to personal emails.
All responses will be sent back to you on our App. They can be found in the "Personal Notification" tab on your App. All of these notifications are sent out with a "push notification" or a "bing" if you wish. You should turn on this facility on your phone. Unfortunately some parents/guardians are missing our messages and requesting a new password. Once we change the password the old one becomes redundant.
Please see the related notification about Office 365.
Thank you for your ongoing support at this challenging time.
Take care of yourselves!

To access Microsoft 365;
If you have received a new password for your student's Office 365 account they must use it as the old one would be redundant.

You may download/install Office 365 onto your computer to avoid working on the internet at all times.
Where a student is using a mobile phone or tablet they should download the Microsoft Teams App from the App Store or Play Store. MS Teams will be used from tomorrow Wednesday as the primarily platform for two way communication between teachers and students.

We are currently working our way through the reissuing of passwords. We started with 6th year students. We endeavour to have all the password shared before lunch tomorrow. it is a slow process as each individual communication must be processed manually.
