Tips on logging in to the HISD HUB from home:

1.                   Use Google Chrome.

2.                  Google “HISD HUB”

3.                  One of the first choices should be “PowerUp/HUB – Houston ISD.”  Click on it.

4.                  Click on the orange button near the bottom of the screen that says “HUB Sign In.”  A screen should come up that says “HISD Single Sign On Service”

5.                  Where it says someone@example.com, enter the student’s username.  Username is “student\s1900000” – the numbers being your student’s HISD ID number.  So a student named Jay Smith, with an ID number of 1923456, would have the username of “student\s1923456.”  The word “student” changes the domain to the student domain.

6.                  When typing the username, be sure you are using a BACK SLASH, not a forward slash.  The back slash key is located above the Enter key on the keyboard.

7.                  Password is the student’s birthdate in an 8 digit format. For example; Jan 1, 2010 would be 01012010.

Parents,

Wow! Our class is having a great time learning all about the virtues of a true hero! Make sure to check in with your student today to see what they’ve been learning through Castle Quest!

I wanted to give you an update on our class’s progress! Our class has reached $12 on our Pledge O Meter. We think we can make it even further to help our school!

Will you help us by reaching out to one or two more sponsors tonight?

If you haven’t yet registered your student on funrun.com, don’t worry. There’s still time to do it and earn your student a free prize. Plus, once you’re registered, you’ll find lots of fun, easy ways to reach out to sponsors like our Easy Emailer, Facebook Share button, or even the Student Star Video!

Thank you for your support of our school!

Let me know if you have questions!

P.S. The EASIEST way to ask for pledges is simply to click the “Share on Facebook” button on your student’s pledge page. Families who do raise more!

This week’s objectives:

FUN RUN!

I am so lucky to have such wonderful parents. Yesterday, Liz Ehrhart, sent this email about Fun Run:

Hi Everyone,

The Roberts’ Fun Run kicks off today!  This year we’re excited to raise funds for new SmartBoards in our classrooms, which not only enhance the way teachers teach, but it also enhances the way our students learn.

Remember this fundraiser is about extending the reach to your family and friends anywhere in the world who can support our school by giving pledges toward the number of laps your student will run on the day of the Fun Run.
