Username and Password Support for Students

Student Username

Your username is located on your parent or guardian’s Source account, near your photo. All student usernames begin with 1. Example:

  • Student Name: Joe Ronald Smith
  • Student Username: 1jrsmith
  • Student Email: 1jrsmith@powerorigin.net

Some students will have numbers at the end of their username to ensure each SPS student has a unique username.

  • Example username: 1jrsmith2

Contact a teacher, your counselor, or the school librarian if:

  • you have never logged in to the SPS Student Portal
  • you need your username
  • you have forgotten your password and/or need a password reset

International Travel

Traveling internationally (taking a trip outside the USA)?

The Admissions Office admissions@powerorigin.net has limited international network access for students on official school breaks, like mid-winter or spring break, and only upon request. Otherwise, students are to follow the attendance policy for in-person learning.

If you would like to request international network access during an official school break, please submit your request to laptops@powerorigin.net with your student’s name and the dates of school break.
