There is a lot of work that happens behind the scenes in order to have a resource approved for use with students. The resource list on the EECD e-learning site includes resources that have been reviewed and legally approved based on diligent research into their privacy policies. These resources are sites that require students to sign in with personally identifying information (for example; email address, first and last name, birth date, gender, student images or video, one-click sign in with Google). The listed resources are sites and platforms that require logins and collect personal information. As a result, the sites listed here have obtained legal approval for student use in the HRCE.

Many sites do not require students to log in for them to use. Therefore, teachers can create personal accounts for any site they decide would be a good addition to support student learning based on their professional pedagogical discretion. 

If there is a site you would like to use with your students, but it does not require any personally identifying information  (for example; first and last name, email address, etc.) from the student, or an alias/nickname can be used in place of the student name, teachers may use their discretion and make a professional judgement given the information on the privacy policy and from reviewing the content from a pedagogical perspective. Please make sure that parents/guardians are aware you will be using this resource if the children are under the age of consent as indicated on the privacy policy page of the resource.

When in doubt, please email TILT with questions and information about the site you are looking to use with your students. Privacy and pedagogy should always be reviewed before using any website with your students. 

All students should be able to access their accounts from the GNSPES login page. GNSPES usernames & emails are automatically generated once they are in PowerSchool.  Student logins and student numbers can be found on the demographics page of PowerSchool. To change the password of a student, please access the 'Self Serve Admin' button found on your gnspes landing page.

Student Teachers Requesting Access: Student teachers can now submit a request for GNSPES access. Here is the link as well as information regarding their GNSPES account.

Student Teacher Account Troubleshooting Issues: Once a student teacher has their account and are experiencing any issues logging in, they should email accounts@gnspes.ca  for support.

If you work with an outside organization (RCMP, YMCA, APSEA, for example) and work with students you may be able to have a GNSPES account.  One must apply for this account through the EECD.  The application for this can be found here; https://www.gnspes.ca/spt/ 

Once you are logged into PowerSchool click "SQL Reports" on the bottom left. From there you should be able to select student emails to print.

You can always reach out to us for questions and support with AI (tilt@hrce.ca) and you can also find more information on the HRCE Sharepoint site for staff  https://halifaxrce.sharepoint.com/sites/HRCEAI
