We are excited to announce that the Student Portal inside PCG and Student Email are now open!
From this PCG Student portal, students will be able to view grades, attendance information and TAKS scores! Students will login to PCG from the same website you go to as a teacher, http://lcisd.d2sc.com.
For student email, students will be able to have a safe and secure email address to use in your class for completing projects and interacting with you digitally! Students will login to student email by going to https://login.microsoftonline.com/.
All they need from you is their username and password…which you can learn how to get bywatching the video below!
For a hard copy, you can also download this simple Student Account Summary Report.
Should a student lock themselves out of D2SC, their account is set up to reset every night automatically, so there is no need for you to go in and enable anyone!
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to make a comment below or email me at cdjones@lcisd.org

The poignant aroma of freshly sharpened pencils fills the air and ushers in the 2010-2011 school year. Crisp new bulletin boards crowd the halls and classrooms are full of eager young learners. As you make your last minute preparations for the first week of school, here are some helpful tech-tips to get your year off to a great start.
Teacher Log In
This year we’re moving to Windows 7 and we know you’re going to be as excited as we are about the improved functionality and speed of the new operating system. That being said, things do look a mite different on your log in screen. In order to log in as a teacher, enter your LCISD username and password. Then click “Novell Login.” For more detail on how to change your context and get logged in, check out this simple cheatsheet.
Student Log In
Elementary students who have logged in by using “student” as their username must now use the word “student” followed by their campus number. The password will be “student.”

Secondary students will login using their student ID as their username and “111111” as their password. Once they login the first time, the system will ask them to change their password. It’s a good idea to have students write down that password somewhere safe in case they forget it.
Printing in a Pinch
Having trouble printing? As a temporary solution, you can use the Hot Spot printer on your campus. In a nutshell, the Hot Spot printer is a printer you access remotely through email or the web. You can submit a print job from any computer with internet access – even from home! Once you submit your print job, you’ll receive a print job code via email or the web. Then go to the Hot Spot printer on your campus and use the ten digit keypad to enter the code you were given. For details on how to get started choose one of the following links:

Our schedule is as follows:
Need Tech Assistance?
If you’re struggling to get set up, and need support – the Technology Department is here to help! You can contact the Help Desk by calling ext. 0220 from your district phone or emailing helpdesk@lcisd.org. Our technicians are literally working around the clock to help make these first days of school as smooth as possible for you and our students.
We hope these links and ideas help make your first few days a little easier. Let us know how we can help you out as the year gets rolling!
