You may have noticed different wireless networks popping up in your devices. AAPS has updated our wireless networks to better manage bandwidth and prioritize educational use. Below are the descriptions and targets for each of the new wireless networks.
AAPS – Will be used by district-owned devices and will replace the AAPSWF network over time.
AAPS-Guest - Replaces AAPS-GUEST
- Accessing the Guest network requires use of an AAPS Active Directory account. Every staff member and student has an account.
- Staff or students using “Bring Your Own Technology” (BYOT) in class need to enter their Active Directory Login/Password and accept the Use Agreement to access this network
- This is the same ID used to access the server space
AAPS-Public - Replaces AAPS-Vendor and is for visitors, parents and community members.
- Users must provide their email address and accept the Use Agreement to access this network. The set up is similar to the screens you see when visiting a network at a hotel or coffee shop.
These networks will require students to re-authenticate to the network after a period of two hours, similar to a hotel or coffee shop.
WIFI Access Directions for Students and Staff
Accessing the Guest Network as a Student:
Use the portion of your AAPS email address before the '@' as your username.
Student Login to the AAPS-Guest Network with Active Directory Credentials.
For example: Username - 2016doejohn
Staff Login to the AAPS-Guest Network with Active Directory Credentials:
Login to the Guest Network on a personal device with Active Directory Credentials.

If your password doesn't work please put in a help desk ticket and ask to have your active directory password reset.
How Can a Teacher Look Up a Student’s Email Address?
- Print a report in PowerTeacher (not gradebook) for a class list of student email addresses.
- Click on Reports in the left hand navigation
- Use the Pull Down Menu and select the report: “DST Class List w GooglePermission”
*Note that students’ Google email passwords are different than Active Directory passwords.
