Setting Up Your Blackbaud ID to access Knightsite

If you have received an invitation to connect to Gill St. Bernard's and you DO NOT access Knightsite with an @gsbschool.org email address, follow these steps to convert your Knightsite login to Blackbaud ID:

STEP 1) Accept the Connect invitation. You will receive an email invitation with the subject "Connect to Gill St. Bernard's School". Click on the Accept Invitation button to open the Sign up page.

STEP 2) Create your Blackbaud ID account. On the Sign Up page, do not edit or change your email address. If you prefer to use a different email, please contact Eileen Procaccino (eprocaccino@gsbschool.org).

Option 1: Complete the form by entering a password and your first and last names. Your password should be a unique password that you do not use for other accounts/websites. Once you've entered the required information, select Sign up.

Option 2: If you wish to use a Google account for authentication (an @gmail.com email is not required), select the Sign up with Google button. If you select this option, you will sign in using credentials managed by Google. Once selected, skip directly to STEP 4.

STEP 3) Confirm your account. Within a few minutes of signing up, you will receive an email with the subject "Confirm your Blackbaud ID". Select the Confirm button in this email to confirm your account creation within 24 hours.

STEP 4) Sign in with your Blackbaud ID. On the Knightsite sign in page, enter your email address.

The first time you sign in with Blackbaud ID, you will receive a message that your account is being converted.
Select Continue.

If your Blackbaud ID session is still active from STEP 3, you'll automatically be signed in after clicking Continue.

If your Blackbaud ID session is not active, sign in with your email address and the password you created for Option 1 in STEP 2 or...

if you selected Option 2 in STEP 2 select the Sign in with Google button to authenticate with your Google account.

Tips:

• To ensure you receive emails, add gsbschool@myschoolapp.com and noreply@blackbaud.com to

your safe senders list in your email account.

• If you create a Blackbaud ID using Option 1 in STEP 2, you'll use the Forgot password? link on the Blackbaud ID sign in page to request a password reset email.

• If you select the Sign in with Google option, you will manage your password through your Google account. (A gmail.com email is not required to create a Google account.)

• To request a new invitation email (STEP 1) contact help@gsbschool.org.

• To request a new Confirmation email (STEP 3), go to https://signin.blackbaud.com and enter your email

address and password to sign in. When prompted, select the option to resend the confirmation email.

• When signing up, if you receive the message "The user already exists.", then a Blackbaud ID has already been created with your email address. Sign in with the existing Blackbaud ID and use the Forgot password? link to reset your password if needed.

• If you have children at multiple schools using Blackbaud ID, you can use the same Blackbaud ID account at multiple schools. You do not need to create a separate Blackbaud ID account for each school.
