The Technology Support Team (also known as Office of Awesomeness!) helps to support all of the technology needs of our students and staff, while also assisting our families with getting connected.
If you are new to STEM, here are some things that you need to know:
This is how you connect to the school wifi:
In order to connect- first, connect to the Student network. The password is: STEMSpartan
Go to: https://cloudpath.stemk12.org and click Start
The next screen should prompt you to log into your STEM Google account. If it does not, open your STEM Google email in another tab and start the process again.
Once you have provided your STEM Google credentials, you will get a link to download a certificate file. The type will be dependent upon your operating system.
Once you download the file, run it and the system should automatically move you to the sySTEM network.
This process places a certificate on your machine which tells the system who you are. This will only need to be done once a year.
If you run into issues and are not getting to the STEM Google email authentication page, clear all cache and cookies from your browser, restart your browser, and try again.
You can also do this process from your house by clicking on the link above.
If you have questions or need help connecting, you can come to the IT office (RM 164) or submit a ticket to: support@stemk12.org

Infinite Campus (IC) is the Douglas County School District’s Student Portal that houses all information about a student, including grades, schedules, report cards, credits, transcripts and historical information. The IC app can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple App Store for your Smartphone.
After downloading the app to your phone, use the DCSD ID QKKYJL during set-up. Student username is Last Name, First Initial and Middle Initial. (Ex: SpartanSE) No spaces or punctuation is needed.
Your password will be Dcsd and your student number. (Ex: Dcsd123456) No spaces and the D must be capitalized.
DCSD provides students and staff access to Google Apps for Education, a collaborative suite of web-based programs providing email, word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, calendaring and other productivity tools.
Google Apps for Education aligns with our 21st century teaching practices, as well as with the DCSD’s Board of Education’s End Statements and the DCSD Strategic Plan. In line with DCSD’s Choice objective, each school leader can individually decide what tools shall be available for use in their building.
All STEM students will be assigned a stemk12.org email address that will stay with them throughout their enrollment at STEM. This email will give them access to the Google Suite of Educational Apps. Log-in information will be provided once the student is enrolled. Questions about student emails should be submitted to support@stemk12.org.
How to Access your Google Apps Account:
As parents and guardians, you can access your student’s Google Apps account login information through the Infinite Campus’ Parent Portal. After logging into your IC Parent Portal account, click on the Student Account Info link in the left column to see your student’s current username and password.
