Although the below information will summarize what is available for students online, the details for accessing the content, logging-in, what specifically to do, etc. must come from the classroom teacher. Students should login to their school email account (gmail.com) and use their login (usually it is first.last@billingsstudents.org) and their password (might be their student ID, with leading 0’s if it is not an 8 digit ID, but if a student has changed it only they will know it). If a student starts an email with a teacher’s name it should present them with a list of options, teacher emails can also be found on Powerschool or you can search for the teacher using the Billings Schools directory. After they login to Google they can also access Google Classroom (classroom.google.com). If a student cannot contact their teacher by email and does not know the Google Classroom code, please call the school main office (281-6100) and they can provide the code to you.

A lot of student logins for the various connected services are available through a site called Clever (http://clever.com/in/billings-public-schools). Just click on the blue "login as a student" button, do a search for "Will James Middle School" and then the student will be able to login to Clever using their Google school login information discussed above.

There is an email for families needing technical support at home with their BPS issued devices. Please send email to this address: help@billingsstudents.org. Families can also call the helpdesk at 406-281-5151, however, email is preferred as we can route these to the school tech for support. In the case that we are unable to troubleshoot issues remotely, the family may need to bring the device back to their schools to exchange it for another device.
