Getting Started Guide for Faculty

Welcome to Zendesk County Schools!  New faculty will receive an account claim via email or text message 30 days before their contract start date. This information is sent via email and text message to the personal email address and phone number you provided to the county.  During the claim process, you'll create your network password, enroll in Duo two-factor authentication and receive your district email address. If you are unable to claim your account or need help resetting your password, please contact us.
