I want to make sure you have everything you need to be a successful student this year. Below are a few frequently asked questions. I will be updating this throughout the year when new questions come, so keep this link posted somewhere handy. As questions arise and when answers are found, I will place the helpful resource here. As always, I am here to help student, teacher, and parent so feel free to email me if you can't find the help you need here.

Dr. Dudley is working through all the ELA classes one grade at a time. The goal is to have the laptops all checked out by the end of day Friday.

Hillsboro is lucky enough to have a Tech Center that is here to help students with their MNPS devices. You will always need a hall pass to come to the Tech Center, except for during the lunch hour.

Mr. Beasley is our new Tech Clerk this year and is currently being trained in the tech center. Mrs. Claassen will be in the Tech Center helping with all technology issues.

You can always email joyce.claassen@mnps.org and we can work to set up an appointment to the Tech Center during the day to help you get setup.

Laptop sluggish or Internet not working? You may need updates. You can avoid this by keeping your laptop on, on the Internet, and plugged in overnight. MNPS runs updates at night so laptops are not disrupted during school. You can push laptop through by following the steps below. And when the laptop say "Restart for Update" go ahead and restart the computer for the update.

1. Bottom left corner type "Check Updates"
2. Then Select "Check Updates"
3. Allow updates to be checked and then check back for "Update & Restart"
4. You can also Select "Check for Updates Online" to pull more Microsoft Updates.

This is the 1st year of Electronic Hall Passes. I will add helpful tips as I learn them.

From your phone or your laptop, you can create and manage your hall passes using your Office365 account. Access E-Hallpass Here

Login for Infinite Campus & Office365 are similar but different. Directions are below, but remember that Office365 Username is the username@mnpsk12.org & your unique password. Infinite Campus is just the username (no @mnpsk12.org) plus the same unique password.

When you are locked out of your email and need a password reset, you can request this help from any teacher, academy office, or the library staff. Email joyce.claassen@mnps.org for more help.

Learn how to access your school email, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, & other Microsoft products through the use of your School Office 365 Account.

Directions Here

Use the direct link to Schoology on www.burrolibrary.com with your mnpsk12.org email (directions to access their mnpsk12.org email found here) . The password is your student ID.

Using a "Google" searched link to Schoology will not allow you access to the correct Schoology Portal. Also, using your personal email to Schoology, will not give you access to 2020-2021 Schoology at Hillsboro.

If you are still unable to login, check the Schoology Help Here.

The website has changed this year and it is amazing.
