When students are learning from home, all work is accessible via Office 365 via microsoft.com. It is important that all students know their username (this is their school email address) and their password which is the same as the password they use for the school network. In the school year 2025-2026 students access will be refreshed and access will be explained to all students.
Please help us to be as efficient as possible. Many precious hours are lost re-issuing passwords and usernames to students. Please support them with learning their passwords so that we can focus on lessons rather than administration. There is a space in the Knowledge Organisers (Yrs 7-9) for students to enter a clue to help them remember their password but they must not write the full password down nor share it with anyone else.
Any live lessons at St Joseph's are run on TEAMS. These are accessible in the TEAM Posts or via the Calendar App.
Students are encouraged to access their TEAMS even when there are no live lessons as they will find many shared resources for their course of study in this area.
Where parents or pupils may struggle to know how to work any aspect of Microsoft365 or Epraise please do not hesitate to get in touch with Mrs McDonnell amcdonnell@st-josephs.bolton.sch.uk We have a bank of very short ‘how to’ videos which are available on this webpage via clicking the link below.

It would be helpful if you could watch it with you child to ensure they have everything they need and understand the steps they need to take.
