Good day, I have finally got an answer to the problem we have been having with logging onto www.pearsonsuccessnet.com (I think). I emailed the person in charge of this at the school board office. He said what is happening is that the school system automatically updates (uploads) all the students enrolled in school every week to make sure any new students are included. The default password is nnps and the student number. I didn’t know that so I had given all my students the password wohs and student number which is why they could log in here (at school when I assign it) but not at home depending on which day they went online and if the school system had already updated the site and reset the password to the default. So with all that being said, please try again using nnpsyournumber as the password. The username is still nnpsfirstnamelastname.
If you still cannot access your successnet page you can also read the story here: http://classics.mit.edu/Sophocles/antigone.html
