Microsoft Office - Home Use


The South Kitsap School District participates in the Microsoft Enrollment for Educational Solutions (EES) program, which gives certain 'home use' rights to staff and students. 

Microsoft Office for Student
Students are eligible to download a full copy of Microsoft Office and install on up to 5 devices.

  1. From your HOME computer, log in to the MS Office 365 web site at http://portal.office.com

  2. Your login will be your SKSD computer login and @skstudent.org  (ie. smit9000@skstudent.org)

  3. You will be taken to another page: Enter your password (the same as what you use to log in to the computer at school)

  4. Once the Microsoft Office 365 web site opens, you will see a red Install Now button.

Once you have installed Microsoft Office, you will be asked for an "account" to activate Office. Please use your email and password from steps 2 and 3.  If you change your district network password in the future, you will be prompted to update your account info here as well.

  Microsoft Office - Home Use - FAQ

Q. I don't see the Install Now button?
A. Microsoft recommends using Internet Explorer to access Office365 and we have noticed the Install Now button may not appear in Chrome or other browsers.

Q. How is this different than the $9.95 software that I previously purchased?
A. It's the same software, but with the old Home Use version you had a product key to enter. With the process above, you enter an Office365 network account to license the product. Also, the Office365 process above allows some prior versions of Office to be downloaded.

Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not offer a discount or upgrade path to newer operating systems through this program.
