North Hills School District
Pride • Tradition • Excellence
Dear Parents and Guardians,

Hello, and welcome back to school! We’re excited to have your student(s) participating in Virtual Learning for the 2021-2022 school year at North Hills School District. Below you will find general information that is relevant to every student currently enrolled in Virtual Learning, as well as specific information for K-6 families and 7-12 families.
Virtual Learning
Virtual Learning students will follow the District Calendar, meaning they will not have work assigned on days when school is not in session. Marking periods for the 2021-2022 school year are as follows:

August 25 - October 29, 2021
November 3, 2021 - January 13, 2022
January 18 - March 18, 2021
March 21 - June 2, 2022
iPad insurance can be purchased through One2OneRisk Solutions. You do not have to purchase insurance, but you must register your district issued device and either select or decline insurance no later than September 15, 2021. If you decline insurance and there is damage to the iPad, you are responsible for the full cost of repair or replacement. You will enroll the device using your student’s Student ID found in Powerschool.
If you find that you are having trouble with your district issued iPad, please visit the iPad support page on our website , and if necessary contact building support for your assigned school via the links at the bottom of the page. If you are having trouble with the Pearson Connexus system please contact Pearson Support at 844-597-3224.
Grade 7-12 Students and Families
As in years past, students in grades 7-12 will use Google Classroom. They will log into Google Classroom using their district email address (@students.nhsd.net) and password.

Students will receive a welcome email from their teacher no later than August 24th outlining their expectations for the course and other pertinent information. You or your student may reach out to the teacher at any point via email, but know that they may be teaching in person courses as well and may not be able to respond until later in the day.

If you have questions regarding virtual learning courses or enrollment, please contact your building principal.
Grade K-6 Students and Families
Parents and students will receive a welcome email from their teacher no later than August 24th. Throughout the course, if help is needed, you or your student may reach out to the teacher at any point via email, but know that they may be teaching in person courses as well and may not be able to respond until later in the day.

If you’ve participated in virtual schooling through North Hills School District in previous years, the Pearson Connexus software will look similar. The Pearson Connexus platform can be accessed here. It is recommended that the site is saved as a favorite for easy access.
