Attention Students - there is a new procedure for accessing your school folder from home.

You might want to print out this page before clicking on the link.

Work from Home

2. Click Connect

3. Type the word district\ and your school user name
(The slash key \ is located above the Enter key. Your user name = lastnamefirstname)

4. Type in your school password  (Your password = first initial + 5 numbers of your lunch code) Click Ok. It will then connect you and open the program. (This might take some time.)

5. Click the colorful Office Button at the top left and scroll to Open

wsstudent under Network Location  (you may need to scroll down) and click Open

8. Select the folder for the year you will graduate from high school and click Open

9. Select the folder with your name and click Open

10. Double click on the document you wish to open

(If you save documents in separate subject folders, you will first have to double click on the folder to open it.)

11. When you have completed your work, click the colorful Office Button at the top left and scroll to Save As

12. Make sure your name (or folder name) is at the top of the Save As box and click Save

IMPORTANT: A TS Web Access error box may pop up telling you that the ActiveX control is not available on your computer. It will have to be installed and enabled before you can access remote programs. Click on this ActiveX Control link to download directions for enabling the ActiveX control.

NOTE:  MAC Users - The Work from Home process is currently NOT working with the MAC.  Our Tech Department is in the process of creating a terminal server client that will allow this to work on a MAC.  A message to MAC Users will be posted on this page when you may start accessing Work from Home with a MAC. 

If you are having trouble with this process,
please e-mail Miss Gouveia at agouveia@milforded.org
and let her know what type of problem you are having.



  1. The Work from Home link doesn't always work perfectly. If you are able to please save your work to a flash drive or email it to your teacher.
