ALL FAMILIES CONNECTED

The Los Angeles Unified School District is working to ensure every student and employee has access to the internet connectivity needed for high-quality teaching and learning.

We are exploring device and connectivity needs to provide the right solution for every student, every educator, and every family. Please let us know how we can best support your child by completing the Parent Acknowledgement and Device/Connectivity Request Form.

Parents and guardians can now use a single form to request computing devices and/or connectivity services for all children enrolled in an LAUSD school.

LAUSD-Sponsored High-Speed Internet

Families who have submitted connectivity requests at device.lausd.net may be eligible to receive district-sponsored high-speed internet connectivity for their homes. Qualifying families are sent correspondence inviting them to accept 12 months of service at no cost to them.

All families are encouraged to visit device.lausd.net to let us know of any support needed with devices and/or internet connectivity.

Affordable Connectivity Program

Do you already have broadband internet at home but need help to afford it? You may qualify for a monthly discount through the federal Affordable Connectivity Program, which is a national program managed by the Federal Communications Commission. Learn more at www.fcc.gov/acp.

Student MyMail Email Account Activation and/or Password Reset 

Please click HERE to find instructions on how to activate your LAUSD email account and/or to reset your password.

SSO Account Portal for activation and reset: mylogin.lausd.net

NOTE: Be sure to select “Reset password with District ID and Student PIN”

Password Reset Workaround for Error Messages

Students who get consistent error messages on the SSO/Password Reset portal (mylogin.lausd.net) when they try to reset their password following the instructions (error messages such as 'too many attempts' or 'wait for 30 days', etc.) may report to Ms. Gutierrez in the library who can reset their password with a temporary, working password.  Passwords have been reset in this way and students were then able to successfully login to their Chromebooks and access Schoology, etc.
