You have been designated as the administrator of the Shared User logins listed in your email. A website Administrator must follow these instructions to reset the password for these users. Note: if you follow these instructions and find you do not have access to “Users” this means you do not have Administrator permissions. In that case, please notify your website’s Administrator or forward your email notification to your Administrator. If you have any questions, contact School Specialty at WebSupport@SchoolSpecialty.com or call 800.513.2465.
