Google Apps for Education in Granite School District

November 2014Josh Whiting

All staff and students in Granite School District have been provided with Google Apps for Education accounts on the granitesd.org domain. These accounts include:

  • UNLIMITED Cloud Storage Space in Google Drive
  • Easy access to real-time collaboration tools such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Draw, Forms, and more
  • A Google email address and calendar

These accounts allow students and staff to utilize school Chromebook laptops in class, but they are also much more.  Students can also access the tools, files and content created in these accounts from any computer or mobile device,  and those who do not have Chromebooks in their classroom or school can still use these accounts for collaboration and cloud storage anytime, anywhere.

How To Access Your Granite Google Account – Staff

  1. Open a browser and go to http://google.com or another Google service such as Drive.  (Chrome or Firefox are the best browser choices for using Google on a PC.)
  2. Sign out of any other Google account that may be open on that computer.
  3. Click “Sign In” or “Add Account.”
  4. Enter your district computer username followed by @granitesd.org and your district password.
  5. This will bring up a second login screen with the district logo.  Enter the login credentials again.
  6. Accept the use agreement and continue.
  7. It may ask you to enter your password one more time as confirmation.
  8. You will now be able to access Google Drive, Gmail, and all the other Google services through this account.

How To Access Your Granite Google Account – Students

  1. Open a browser and go to http://google.com or another Google service such as Drive.  (Chrome or Firefox are the best browser choices for using Google on a PC.)
  2. Sign out of any other Google account that may be open on that computer.
  3. Click “Sign In” or “Add Account.”
  4. Enter the granitesd.org username and regular school computer password. For students, the username follows a 4+4+4@granitesd.org pattern: the first four letters of the student’s first name, the first four letters of the student’s last name, and the first four digits of the student number, followed by @granitesd.org. So, if a student’s name is George Washington and his student number is 9876543, his Granite Google account username would be georwash9876@granitesd.org.
  5. After the first login, a second login screen will appear with the district logo.  Enter your login credentials again.
  6. Accept the use agreement and continue.
  7. It may ask you to enter your password one more time as confirmation.
  8. You will now be able to access Google Drive, Gmail, and all the other Google services through this account in this browser.

Note: these Granite Google account credentials are used to log in to school/district-owned Chromebooks, and can also be used in Google Apps on other mobile devices.

If you have questions or need help with your Google account, please contact your school technology specialist (elementary or secondary.)  Some students on occasion may have been assigned an irregular 4+4+4 username, and STSs have the ability to look up the student’s assigned username in the Work Order system.  You can also direct questions about Google Education Accounts and Chromebooks to Larry Hudgins (jlhudgins@graniteschools.org) or Teresa Bruin (tbruin@graniteschools.org) in the Educational Technology Department.
