    How do I log in and access my course?

    Login using the Birdville Portal at www.mybirdvilleschools.net. Your username and password for the Birdville Portal will be the same as you used to log in to a desktop computer in a lab at your school. If you have never logged onto the Birdville Portal, you will be asked to set 3 security questions prior to gaining access. These security questions allow you to reset your password without going through the Technology Help Desk.

    What if my login does not work for the Birdville Portal in High School?

    You will need to go to the library where staff will reset your password.  After your password has been reset, you will need to log on to a desktop computer in the library to change your password. A naming convention recommended for your password is:
