The Halton District School Board has instituted two new forms of communication for students, teachers, and parents. Although I don't use it for communication this year with my class, some teachers at the school are now using Edsby. Events and information about the school as a whole are also being shared this way.As of last week, the Board no longer uses First Class Chatt for email. Everyone student in the Board has a school email address and it has been automatically transferred to the Google/Gmail platform. Their email address remains exactly the same, including the @hdsb.ca portion.
Now students can use one account for their email and Halton Cloud activities. If they haven't been utilizing their Cloud account already, they should get into the habit as it will ease many frustrations. They can have access to all of their work done in the Cloud or saved to the Cloud, on any device as they as they have access to the Internet.
Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
