District ID

The district ID is a new feature that enables The PLATO® Network to be personalized for every user with a unique user name and password. You may not have received a district ID at this time. If you have not been assigned a district ID, leave the District ID log-in entry box empty.

How do I know if I need a district ID?
If you received a new user name and password for The PLATO® Network after September 14, 2001, you most likely need a district ID. If you received your user name and password prior to this date, you do not need a district ID and should continue logging in without one until your PLATO® network coordinator provides you with a new user name, password, and district ID.

Why is the district ID filled in for me?
Your district ID is automatically stored on your computer so that you do not need to retype it every time you log in to The PLATO® Network.

I don't use a district ID to log in, but there is one filled in for me. What should I do?
If the district ID is correct for your district, you can leave the district ID filled in. Just continue logging in by entering your user name and password and clicking Go. If you know that the district ID is incorrect or if you are unsure, log in by entering your user name and password and replace the incorrect district ID with your own.

My district ID is no longer filled in for me. Where did it go?
Your district ID is automatically stored on your computer so that you do not need to retype it every time you log in to The PLATO® Network. If you changed your web browser or if someone else logged in without a district ID, your district ID may no longer be stored on your computer. You will need to log in again using your own district ID to have it stored on your computer.

The displayed district ID is not mine. Where did it come from?
Your district ID is automatically stored on your computer so that you do not need to retype it every time you log in to The PLATO® Network. If someone else logged in using a different district ID, that district ID was stored on your computer. You will need to log in again using your own district ID to have it stored on your computer.

What do I do if I have forgotten my district ID or did not receive one with my new user name and password?
If you have forgotten your district ID or did not receive one (after September 14, 2001), please contact:
  • your teacher
  • your school
  • your site administrator
  • PLATO Support Services at 800.869.2200, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, or e-mail us at http://support.plato.com/email
