You are being directed here because you are trying to access an application that has not been approved by ACSD#1 Technology.

Albany County School District #1 Technology refers to software and online content that is designed to enhance instruction as educational technology. Prior approval of online technology (referred to Software as a Service or SaaS) ensures the protection of Personally Identifiable Information and improves cybersecurity across the district.

As we continue to enhance our educational tools and resources, it is crucial to prioritize the protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and maintain robust cybersecurity standards. To ensure that all applications used within our district comply with these standards along with the Student Data Privacy Act, we have implemented a formal process for requesting access to any applications (FREE or PAID) not currently approved by Albany County School District #1. We currently have 2600+ applications approved for the district. 

Any free educational technology resource requires approval from technology to ensure the privacy policy of the resource aligns with the Student Data Privacy Act and the acceptable use policy set by ACSD#1 to ensure it is considered safe and secure for use (i.e., free from adware or viruses, encrypted connections, etc.), is a resource that will function within the ACSD#1 network, and to ensure that any rostering or student data can be managed by technology.

Additionally, requests for educational technology applications that require student or teacher login and integration with any synced service to utilize ACSD#1 credentials (e.g., Classlink, Active Directory, PowerSchool SIS, etc.), will require at least 45 days (learn more) for technology to setup a sync and test functionality to ensure setup is as smooth as possible for teachers and students. Technology does not have the necessary resources to rush project implementation.

Note: You will need to read the privacy policy of the educational resource you wish to use. If you need additional information about what is a good privacy policy and what isn't, please see the sidebar on the left.

Technology already available in the district does not require filling out this form. If you need technology installed on a PC or access to a web based software that already exists in the district, please email techdept@acsd1.org or call our help line at (307)755-5596.

Please follow this link: ACSD#1 Educational Technology Resource Request to fill out the form to make a request to access an application not already approved by technology.

Once you submit the request, your principal will receive a notification of that request. Technology does not see your request until it's approved by the principal. If you receive a rejection email because your request is inside the 45 day limit (learn more), technology does not see your request. If your request is rejected because of time, please contact technology or re-submit your request following the 45 day requirement.

If this is an existing application (desktop or SaaS), please put in a helpdesk ticket here and select "Existing Application Request" in the category drop down.
