West Catholic strongly encourages the integration and use of technology in all courses by both teachers and students. We strive to meet and exceed all national and state standards. ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) standards are met within technology classes and throughout the building to prepare all students to use technology seamlessly in their education so that they are prepared for the future.

In addition to teaching digital citizenship throughout our curriculum, West Catholic enforces a strict code of conduct in dealing with all usage of technology, electronic transmissions and all digital content. To review West Catholic’s technology policies and procedures, please read the policies and documentation sections below.

Acceptable Use Policy

Change Password

In the interest of increased security for student work, we’ve adopted a password tool that allows students to create a private network password that is 100% confidential.

What you need to know:

• This password, like the one you have now, is a ‘single sign-on’ password that will provide access to most major systems:  Network, Google Apps (mail, drive, etc.) and Canvas.
• Student Infinite Campus password will NOT change unless a student chooses to change it so they align. (See instructions below.)
• At this time, Naviance accounts are managed independently by the School Counseling Department. See Registrar Lauri Ford if you have Naviance login questions.
• You will have to enter the new password on any device you use to access those accounts such as personal phone, home computer, etc.
• No one will have access to your password; not even diocesan tech staff.
• You will be prompted to change your password near the beginning of each semester.

What if I forget my new password?

• During school hours, go to the Technology Department for assistance.
• If you forget your password outside of school hours, there is no assistance available. As a safeguard, email your password to your personal email account or to your parents so you can easily recall it if needed.

How to change your password (This step must be completed at school):

Step 1: Go to https://passwordswc.grdiocese.org
Step 2: Click the My Account button and enter your email address and current password
Step 3: Select ‘change password’ from the top menu and follow the steps to set a new password.

Password rules are listed on the right-hand side of the page

• Minimum 8 characters
• Must include a digit, a lowercase letter and an uppercase letter
• May NOT include a username or any of your 3 previous passwords

How to change Infinite Campus password:

Step 1: Log into the Infinite Campus portal on a computer or in Safari on your iPad (the option to change password is not available on the Campus Portal app)
Step 2: On the left side, select Account Management
Step 3: Follow the steps to create a new password

• Enter a new password
• Re-enter the new password
• Enter your current password
• Save changes
• You will see a “Save Successful” message

Technology Support

West Catholic embraces the use of technology as an educational tool. However, as with many tools, training, troubleshooting and support are often part of the package. Our school has two full-time employees as well as a Diocesan support team to help with these matters.

Jeff Bailey is our Instructional Support Specialist. Mr. Bailey’s role is to support staff and students in the appropriate and effective usage of technology. He is also available to help support parents/guardians if they have questions or concerns centered around technology.

Tom Kutzli is our Technology Director. Mr. Kutzli’s role is to support the overall implementation and vision for technology at West Catholic. He is also the front line of support for hardware problems, software setup and student devices in need of repair.

Don’t hesitate to reach out directly to our Technology Department with any questions. You can also email our technology support line at: wcsupport@grwestcatholic.org. The technology support line is designed for questions outside of normal school hours. Our team will do its best to give timely responses to all questions.
