If you have a NoodleTools account from a previous school year, you may be asked to revalidate before you continue to use it this year.

When you see this prompt:

• Obtain West Sound Academy’s NoodleTools school password from your librarian or teacher. (WSA's username is west and will be autofilled in this screen.)  Click Revalidate.

Once you are successfully logged in your account, it is revalidated for the rest of the school year.

You are allowed to skip the revalidation step for up to 3 weeks (the last day is given on the screen - see above image). Click Skip Revalidation For Now and proceed to your account. After that date, this screen will no longer allow you to skip the revalidation. Ask your teacher or librarian for access information. Nothing is lost or deleted — you are simply not permitted to log in until you revalidate.

Tutorials found in this guide are adapted from those in the Knowledge Base at the NoodleTools Help Desk, accessed July 2016.

The librarian is always happy to help you!
