Please use the links on the right to learn more about each resource and how to get support.
Who to Contact for Support
By restarting your district device (laptop or iPad) at least three times each week, you will resolve most issues. Restarting your device allows the device to process updates, policy changes, or security changes that are needed to keep your device running smoothly. Steps to restart your device:
- Plug your device in to power and turn it on
- Connect to the internet
- Restart the device, and then have your student log in to the device
- Leave it on for at least an hour so it can apply any changes that are needed silently
- If prompted, proceed with restarting your device again
SchoolPay
SchoolPay is a safe and quick way to review and pay all of your student’s fees or fines from the comfort of your own home or mobile device.

Digital Learning
The Digital Learning team supports the fusion of tools and practice in the classroom to provide students with essential experiences and skills needed to be successful in college and life.

The Admissions Office admissions@wxhl.org has limited international network access for students to official school breaks, like mid-winter or spring break and only upon request. Otherwise, students are to follow the attendance policy for in-person learning.
If you would like to request international network access during an official school break, please submit your request to seattleschools@service-now.com with your student’s name and the dates of school break.
