Technology Resources for Parents
Parents & Guardians
Please have your child use their HUSD Chromebook and open Google Classroom to see required assignments and activities. Google Classroom will work best if your child uses their HUSD Chromebook. Using the HUSD Chromebook also makes it easy for your child to access other sites and apps that are used at school.
Chromebooks and hotspots are provide HemetUSD for local use and should not be used outside of the district area.
If you are having any issues with a class, contact your teacher first by email. Many times they are the only ones with answers to your very specific questions. You can find their contact information in Aeries.
Aeries is the program our school district uses for attendance, gradebooks, schedules, and teacher contact information. You and your student will need to have access to Aeries. Students accounts are made automatically when they are enrolled and parents can get help creating an account in our front office. Link
Chromebooks
New students! it takes two business days after completing registration for all your accounts to be registered and active at our School.
A Chromebook will be checked out to all students currently enrolled in our district. If you are new to the district, a Chromebook can be checked out to you in the library. WIFI hotspots are also available, one per house hold, by request for those that do not have access to internet. Replacing lost or damaged equipment will incur a fee. Please contact the Liberian for this information.
When getting your Chromebook and books from the library 2 business days after registration, if you don't have a username and password ask the librarian. Students K-5 can also receive a Clever badge QR-code that will log them in using the camera on the Chromebook. Students 6-12 are required to use a username and password. All staff can also help with usernames and passwords by phone and e-mail.
Chromebook Troubleshooting Tips
Shut down the Chromebook at the end of each day and any time that you run into problems that can't be easily resolved. The power icon can be found by clicking on the time at the bottom right of the screen when signed in. When signed out "Shut down" appears at the bottom left.
Close tabs that are not needed, especially when using Google Meet. Having multiple tabs open slows down the Chromebook.
Don't use the background blur feature in Google Meet unless you have a fast, reliable, WIFI connection.
If your home WIFI is slow, work in the same room as the router and avoid streaming video or music unless it is needed to complete assignments.
Google Classroom
Students use Google Classroom to join their Google Meet, get assignments and turn in work. You are able to access it with the HUSD Chromebook or on a personal device after logging in to Google using your school email and password.
Clever Log In from Home
Elementary students use Clever to sign in to many different learning apps. When signed in to a HUSD Chromebook students have a link to clever in their HUSD bookmarks on the top left of their chrome browser .Students can log in to Clever using a personal device at https://clever.com/oauth/HemetUSD. After clicking the Clever link, click "Log in with Google" and enter the email address and password used to sign in to the student's HUSD Chromebook (can be provided by the teacher or office staff if needed).
Text-to-Speech and Speak-to-Type
Chromebooks have built-in accessibility features that allow students to select text to have it read aloud to them. Students can also enable a setting that will allow them to speak and have the Chromebook type for them. Take a look at this document for directions and links to videos showing how these features work.
Take a look at this spreadsheet which contains links to helpful tutorials for Google tools including Classroom, Meet, Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets and more. Link
