Burro Basics 2022-2023

Here to Help, even when you can't get in the library!

I want to make sure you have everything you need to be a successful student this year. Below are a few frequently asked questions. I will be updating this throughout the year when new questions come, so keep this link posted somewhere handy. As questions arise and when answers are found, I will place the helpful resource here. As always, I am here to help student, teacher, and parent so feel free to email me if you can't find the help you need here.

Keep your Laptop Up to Date!

Laptop sluggish or Internet not working? You may need updates. You can avoid this by keeping your laptop on, on the Internet, and plugged in overnight. MNPS runs updates at night so laptops are not disrupted during school. You can push laptop through by following the steps below.

Bottom left corner type "Check Updates"
Then Select "Check Updates"
Allow updates to be checked and then check back for "Update & Restart"
You can also Select "Check for Updates Online" to pull more Microsoft Updates.

Login & Password Help

Login for Infinite Campus & Office365 are similar but different. Directions are below, but remember that Office365 Username is the username@mnpsk12.org & your unique password. Infinite Campus is just the username (no @mnpsk12.org) plus the same unique password.

When you are locked out of your email and need a password reset, you can request this help from any teacher, academy office, or the library staff. Email joyce.claassen@mnps.org for more help.

How to access your school courses online

Use the direct link to Schoology on www.burrolibrary.com with your mnpsk12.org email (directions to access their mnpsk12.org email found here) . The password is your student ID.

Using a "Google" searched link to Schoology will not allow you access to the correct Schoology Portal. Also, using your personal email to Schoology, will not give you access to 2020-2021 Schoology at Hillsboro.

If you are still unable to login, check the Schoology Help Here.

Access to Databases

Most Databases are found on www.burrolibrary.com

Most of them work automatically at school. If not you will either use your Limitless Libraries account or Hillsboro for both the username and password.
