Website User Update


Great news! Your Blackboard Schoolwires login (website login) is now synced with your EMS ISD network login (computer login). You can now use your network username and password to login and update your web page. You no longer have to remember a separate login! 

If you have never registered with Blackboard Schoolwires, you can sign in for the first time using your network username and password to create your account. After this initial sign in, contact our district webmaster, April Dunning, at [email protected]   or your campus webmaster so we can grant editing permissions for your webpage.

If you were using a different username than your network username, logging in for the first time will likely create a "new account" for you. Please contact April Dunning at [email protected] or your campus webmaster if you find that your editing permissions are missing.
