Access to the S: Drive (Student Drive)

Where do I access the S: Drive or Student Drive?

There are two website that both lead to the S: drive:

Option 1: https://home.wdmcs.org (students use their existing user id/password to gain access)

Option 2: http://www.wdmcs.org/s-drive/ (also requires a student id/password to gain access)

What user id/password is used?

Students use their existing id/password that they use to log into the computers at school.  How do parents log in?  They need to ask their student to log in with their id/password.

What is the S: Drive or Student Drive?

The Student Drive, or more commonly called the S: Drive,  is a location on the network where teachers have access to leave documents, assignments for students.  Student have read-only access.  Teachers commonly use the S Drive to leave assignments, notes, templates, or even project examples.

Why is a password required?

As teachers purchase curriculum materials, we’re finding that they want to share them with students via the S: Drive, however, copyright does not permit us to open share purchased materials.  However, they can be shared with students through a password protected site, so we are returning to having the S: drive password protected.

What about parent access – I use it to help my child stay organized? What are my options?

Although parents do not have an id/password for access, we encourage you to talk with your child to gain access to the S: drive.

Fixing your K: and S: drive on your teacher laptop

Q1.  I took the teacher laptop course this past spring, but now I’ve lost connection to the K: and S: drives?  How do I fix this?
This summer we sent out a notification that the K: and S: drives moved to new servers, here’s a copy of that message that contains directions for remapping the K: and S: drives.

There are two parts to perform in order to remap your drives.

First:  Delete the current drive mappings you have on your laptop for the K: and S: drives.  Click on the Windows Start button, then right-click on Computer.  When the pop-up menu appears, click to highlight Disconnect network drive.  Now all you have to do is select the drive mapping you need to delete.

Second:  find your handout titled Mapping Drives and Printers and follow the steps to reset your K: and S: drive mappings.   Please use the information below to successfully change the new mappings:

K: drive = \\lrc-5\d-common$

S: drive = \\lrc-11\students$

If you are unable to locate your handout, you will also find a modified version here.

Q1. It won’t take my password – it says it is incorrect.. what do I do?
Your password is probably correct – but instead, you’ve probably listed your username incorrectly.  It must be wdmschools\username.
