District 11 Students and Staff have the ability to install a free version of Office 365 on their home computers or devices through our agreement with Microsoft. To do so, please follow the instructions below, to be guided step-by-step through the process. You only get FIVE opportunities to install Office on personal devices. 

• Open a web browser and navigate to Office 365 by searching office.com

• In the top right corner click on "Sign In" and use your district credentials to sign in.

• Once you are logged in, you will see your Office dashboard. If you look right above all the icons for the Online Office Apps you will see a drop-down that says "Install and More". Click that box

• In the dropdown select the option that says "Install Microsoft 365 apps"

• Once you select this, you should see the download of the file begin. You will see one of two file types based on your system (.exe for Windows 10 or .pkg for macOS). You should also see a popup window that gives quick instructions on next steps.
  • Click Run
    • Click the Setup file at the bottom of the screen
  • Say "yes" 
    • Click Yes to start installing
