Recover Password via Web Account

Electronic Method

User IDs @yahoo.com will not receive recovery password messages. Yahoo! blocks all messages originating from Silent Dismissal.

  1. Open a browser then navigate to the site for you school, e.g., yourschool.sdcs99.com
  2. Note the school code in the third field. This will be required for a future step
  3. On the sign in page, locate the link titled Parent Forgot Password.
    1. If you do not see the link on the page then your school does not support parent access via the web and you will not be able to continue with this method
  4. On the password recovery form enter
    1. The e-mail address that you registered your account with
    2. The school code from the second step
    3. Press the Recover Password button
  5. Your password will be e-mailed to you. This happens immediately; there is no queuing for later processing. If you haven't seen the e-mail within a minute, check your junk mail. If it is not in your junk mail then you can safely presume that you will not be receiving the message so proceed to the manual method below.
  6. You will be redirected to the sign in page with your e-mail address filled in on the form
