HOW TO FIND EXTRA MATH HELP by Logging on to the Hub
To log on to the HUB, you need your student’s HISD Identification number. It is listed on every report card and standardized test result sent home. Additionally, they should have it memorized.
1.    Open Google Chrome.  (***The HUB will NOT work on Internet Explorer.) Search for “HISD Hub.”  (It may come up as “Power Up HUB.)
2.    Click “HUB Sign In.”
3.    Username is the student’s ID number with the letter “s” directly in front of it. Password is the student’s birthdate in an 8 digit format.
For example:
Username – s1234567 (s+ID #)
Password – 01012010 (for birthdate of Jan. 1, 2010.)
          If asked for a domain, the domain is “student” then a backslash
          (located above the Enter key.)   For example: student/s1234567
4.    Roberts Elementary School’s page will come up.  Click on “Digital Resources” in the top menu bar (it may be under a drop down tab labeled “More.”)
5.    Click on “Log In With Active Directory.”
Your student is now logged on to the HUB!  Click on math on the left side bar and then click on Imagine Math.
