Families can also reach the HelpDesk at 626-396-3699 in order to get real time support. Please visit the following URLs for support regarding other student needs:

Please continue to submit requests for Hotspots at gopusd.com/helpdesk. However, we are currently out of hotspots, but waiting to receive more. Hotspots will be checked out on a first come first serve basis based on tickets submitted.
