Brightspace is only enabled / turned on / accessible for all staff and only students in grades 5-12, based on lower usage in the early grades and a desire to steward our resources wisely.
Student Account and Password Help
Are you new to the CBE?
- If you are new to CBE and don't know your password, ask your teacher for your initial password.
- You will need to change your password before you log in to CBE applications like Brightspace or G Suite for Education for the first time unless your school tells you otherwise.
- If you need to change your password use the
Student Password Hub .
What’s my username?
- CBE students in grades 5-12 log in to Brightspace with their
student ID number.
- Your teacher or school staff can tell you your student ID number.
- Some students may have
dash and code at the end of their student ID which is
not used to log on to Brightspace. For example, log on to your school computer with 99991234-972, then log on to Brightspace with
99991234.
I don’t know (or forgot) my password.
- Your Brightspace password is your CBE network password.
- If you already set up a recovery email in your
Student Password Hub profile, you can reset your own password.
