Request eVAL role in EDS

Teachers new to the district need to request an account in the eVAL system we use for the TPEP/PGES professional growth system and evaluations.  

Here are directions:

Visit the EDS system here: https://eds.ospi.k12.wa.us

You may already have an account.  If you worked in another Washington district, or have started work with OSPI on your teacher certificate, you should log in with the account you already have, and use the directions starting with "If you already have an EDS account".

If you do not have an EDS account: 

Visit the EDS system here: https://eds.ospi.k12.wa.us

• Click the dark green "Create an Account" button
• Fill out all the info
• Please out all of the information on the page, and please make sure to use your WashougalSD.org e-mail account as the "contact email"
• Click Register at the bottom

• Once your account is created, you should get a button asking if you want to request a role.  Click that button.  
• Choose the roll "eVALSchoolTeacher" from the drop down menu
• Choose Washougal School District as the Organization
• Choose your individual school as the school.  If you teach at more than one school, you may need to work with your admin to figure out who will be evaluating you. 
• Click Save.   

Boo Stevens here at District Office will receive a request, and will approve it, giving you access to eVAL through the EDS system.  

If you already have an EDS account:

Log into EDS via this address: https://eds.ospi.k12.wa.us

• Click "Profile" from the three tabs near the top in the light green bar
• In the left sidebar, click "Request Access"
• Click the button to "Add Role"
• Choose the roll "eVALSchoolTeacher" from the drop down menu
• Choose Washougal School District as the Organization
• Choose your individual school as the school.  If you teach at more than one school, you may need to work with your admin to figure out who will be evaluating you. 
• Click Save.
