School admins, admin assistants, and others that have access in PowerSchool to the Student
Profile -> Guardian and Student Account Access (formerly “Access Accounts”) page can change student Google account passwords right from that page.

Teachers, can change Google account passwords for their own students by navigating in
PowerTeacher to Custom Links -> Change Student Google Account Passwords.

Staff that do not have access to PowerSchool, but are in one of the job classifications
listed at the bottom of this page can change student Google account passwords from the Google Admin
Console.

Instructions for changing passwords from the PowerSchool are embedded right in the Guardian
and Student Account Access (PowerSchool admin) and Change Student Google Account Passwords (PowerTeacher) pages.

Some things to note:
 

• All password changes are logged. 
• PK-6 grade teachers: We’ve added an additional option in PowerTeacher that will allow you to change the passwords for all students in your class at once to the same password. Be careful with this option as it will change the password for all students in your class to the same password immediately. This is most useful at the beginning of the year to set temporary passwords for all your students. While we can’t enforce this option, all students grades 4+ should be forced to change their password to something only they know. 
• Any password change from PowerSchool, PowerTeacher, or the Google Admin Console must be at least 8 characters long.
• If you check the “Force PW change at next login” checkbox, students will be forced to set a password of their own the first time they log into Google or a Chromebook. We highly recommend this for all students old enough to set and remember their own. This should be mandatory for students grades 4+.

Staff in certain job classifications are automatically authorized to change student Google account passwords. The authorized job classifications are at the end of this document. Other staff not in these job classifications may be added to the list of authorized password changers by request of the school principal or designee.
