O365 Sign-In Changes
New Sign-In Page
K12 is making some changes to make logging into your O365 account even easier. Starting Dec 10th, when signing in to your 0365 account directly you will now be asked for your Stride Username as opposed to using your school email as the username. This will be the same username and password you log into the online school. This change will only affect when logging into O365 directly. If you access your inbox/outbox from a quick link in the OLS or OMHS, you will automatically be taken to your O365 account still.
