Your EHS network login is your gateway to many school technology functions: your desktop/laptop, the wireless registration system, Canvas, and email. Keeping it safe and secure is more important than ever. Students still do not have the option of changing their passwords. However, adults may change their passwords at any time and will be prompted to do so every six months.
To change your password, follow these instructions while using any school computer.
Windows
- While logged in to the desktop, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del on the keyboard.
- Select “Change a Password”
- Enter your old password and your new password twice
- Make sure that the new password is eight or more characters
- Hit Enter or click the arrow
- Your password will be updated across all systems immediately
Mac / OS X
- Open the System Preferences app from the Dock
- Click on the Users & Groups category
- Click “Change Password…” in the pane on the right
- Enter your old password and your new password twice
- Make sure that the new password is eight or more character
- Your password will be updated across all systems immediately
Episcopal employees and students have the option of receiving school e-mail on their personal phone devices. An EHS mail account can be on the same device as other mail accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, or iCloud. Messages sent to and from this device will be immediately mirrored on the school Groupwise e-mail account (desktop software and web e-mail access).
When you have an EHS mail account on your phone, you will be using the Groupwise global address book. When typing an e-mail address in the various To: fields, the autocomplete features of these devices will look up names and addresses you might not have previously had in your contacts. It is helpful to have this feature when e-mailing someone in the school whose address you may not remember and you will not have to set up contact list entres ahead of time.

For those who have taken advantage of “cloud” based storage solutions like Dropbox, Filr is a similar product that allows anyone on the Episcopal network to access their network files and folders off campus. Using a desktop, laptop, or mobile device, Filr offers three methods of connecting to your personal files that previously required clunky solutions such as e-mailing files to yourself or putting them on external disks.
Now, if you have web or internet access, you will have a way to get to your school files. Continue reading Archived: Filr →
