Student Accounts: Getting User Names
Student User Names are their Skyward alphakeys (or a variation of it), also called namekeys. Create a class roster in Skyward Educator Access Plus (EA Plus) to find student user names.

What's an Alphakey?
Find your student's alphakey in a roster from EA Plus. Then remove any spaces and special characters to generate the student's user name.
Alphakeys are always 11 characters long, made up of the following:
- First five letters of the student's last name
- If the last name is less than five characters, spaces are added for the alphakey
- For the user name, spaces and special characters, like apostrophes (') and hyphens (-), are removed
- First three letters of the first name
- If the first name is less than three characters, spaces are added for the alphakey
- For the user name,spaces and special characters, like apostrophes (') and hyphens (-), are removed
- Three numbers
- When there are duplicate alphakeys, the number increases by one
- The first is 000, the second name in the district will be 001 so the names will be unique
- Note that you do not know when there is a duplicate in the district, nor which is considered the second, third, or fourth--this is why you cannot guess
Sample student names and alphakeys:
- Name: Sample Student
- Skyward Logon: STUDESAM000
- Computer Logon: STUDESAM000
- Name: Student O'Year
- Skyward Logon: O'YEASTU000
- Computer Logon: OYEASTU000
- Name: Le Student
- Skyward Logon: STUDELE 000
- Computer Logon: STUDELE000
- Name: Groucho Al
- Skyward Logon: AL GRO000
- Computer Logon: ALGRO000
- Name: Grouchy Al
- Skyward Logon: AL GRO006
- Computer Logon: ALGRO006
QUIZ! In the last two samples, (1) For the Computer Logon, how many spaces are between AL and GRO? (2) Is the 4th to last character a letter or a number?
Answers: (1) 0; (2) letter
