Tech Integration
COVID-19 Response
We are working hard to maintain home-school connections and to continue to meet with students at both HES and HA. We use two different video conferencing platforms to achieve our mission to provide a safe and supportive environment that fosters cooperation, critical thinking, creativity, integrity, and a love of learning.
The platforms we use are Zoom and Google Meet/Hangouts.
Zoom’s K-12 Schools & Districts Privacy Policy is designed to reflect our compliance with the requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), and other applicable law.

HES students in grades K-6 use Google Suite for Education, an integrated communication and collaboration solution, on Chromebooks or iPads in their classrooms. Students will have access to Google Drive and Google Sites. Students in Grades 3-6 may be assigned Gmail, with restricted messaging to or from teachers and approved HPS staff only. In addition to the core Google Suite for Edu products, we will also be using a selection of Chrome extensions, Google Earth and Google My Maps. We will be using various online tools and websites with all students, K-6.
Student usernames and passwords are shared with parents and guardians, so that these accounts may be monitored at home. In order to allow monitoring of student accounts it is imperative that students do not change their passwords. Please note that no material, including documents, slide decks or video, etc. distributed via school accounts may be repurposed in any part or published to the web in order to both respect privacy and copyright laws.
