Student Tech Support - Email and Google Apps

Students have access to many applications including a district email account and Google Apps such as Google Drive, Meet, Classroom and Hangouts. The use of their district account allows them to collaboratively work on class assignments, communicate with teachers and produce high level projects and research. All written communication is archived as part of the email and Google systems.

STUDENT EMAIL

Students are assigned an HSD account and email through Microsoft Office365. All communication is archived. Microsoft does have a powerful spam filter in place, however the District cannot assure that users will not be exposed to unsolicited information.

GOOGLE APPS

Students will use a variety of applications that are all part of the Google Suite. Some of these include Classroom, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat (High School Only) and Meet (online meetings). All of these and other applications allow teachers and student to collaborate in an online environment. Additional information can be found on the G Suite for Education site.

All written communication within the Google Apps Suite is archived.
