How do I connect to the Guest Portal Wi-Fi?

Need temporary access to the guest network? (one day at a time):

Visit the help desk at the school (middle/high schools only), or call the Central Office help desk at 251-970-4400.  Temporary access to the guest network is intended for non-BCBE employees that need Internet access for a few days or less. This is typically needed by outside vendors, presenters, etc.
Directors, Principals, DRS, STC can access the instructions for temporary connections to the Guest Network here (login required)

Need long term access to the Guest Network? (for more than a few days):

This is for non-BCBE employees that will need network access for an extended time.  Examples of this would be student teachers, vendors working in the schools on projects, etc...

Long-term access is granted by giving users their own username and password for logging in. This must be approved by the principal or a department director.  The person requesting the account will need to send this, so forward the following link to them (to their personal email address) and have them make the request.  They will be notified with credentials and instructions if access is granted.

* A verification notification goes to your sponsor school/department for approval (3-5 business days).
