Student Log In

Example student login
Johnny Digital is in the school year 2023-2024, his student ID # is 0912345, and his birth month is October. So his login would be:

- Password: jd.nk2023oct
Susy Smith-Thompson is in the school year 2023-2024, her student ID # is 0987654, and her birth month is May. So her login would be:

- Password: ss.nk2023may
Anne Marie Johnson is in the school year 2023-2024, her student ID # is 0955446, and her birth month is December. So her login would be:
- Username: 0955446@nkschools.org
- Password: aj.nk2023dec
Note: The initials are always the first letter of the position, regardless of hyphens or other inclusions. The first name of Anne Marie would be A for a first initial. A last name of smith-thompson would just be s for the last initial.
Restricted Logon Hours
Scaffolded time restrictions are in place to support the overall well-being of students. Research shows that the blue light from electronic screens can reduce or delay the body's production of melatonin, which can hinder a person's ability to fall asleep. Blue light can also shorten the amount of time people stay in rapid-eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep. These two types of sleep are directly linked to cognitive functioning during the day. While we are very excited to be able to provide these resources to students, we also take the responsibility that comes with these tools very seriously
- Elementary students’ access is restricted from 9:00 pm-6:00 am.
- Middle school students’ account access is restricted from 11:00 pm-6:00 am.
- High school students do not have time restrictions.
