Pro-Tips for Teachers
- Students have the ability to change their passwords, resetting the passwords is a first step in troubleshooting student access to Penda.
- Standard Formatting: For many districts, student passwords are set to match their Student ID or username by default.
- Case Sensitivity: Ensure students are aware that passwords are case-sensitive. It is often recommended to keep usernames and passwords in lowercase for simplicity during initial setup.
