Connectivity (Websites or Apps)

• Open a browser (Chrome or Safari) and visit several websites to check connectivity. If there is no internet, contact your local internet service provider for assistance.

Does your iPad need to be updated?

*Devices must be plugged in or have more than 50 percent battery life remaining to install an update.

If you've completed both of the above, try rebooting the iPad:

• Let go of both buttons and let the iPad reboot

Logins

Most NHSD logins are a combination of the student's district username and password. This information can be found in the parent's PowerSchool account under the student’s name in the Grades and Attendance or School Information tabs.

The username and password combinations for some of our common apps are listed below. Please check with your teacher to be sure you are using the correct username and password combination for each app.

Classlink
Students use their district username and password to sign in to ClassLink. You should see the red NH logo after clicking on the ClassLink app icon. ClassLink can also be accessed from a web browser here.

Google
All NHSD students are assigned a district Google account. Their Google account is their district username plus @students.nhsd.net at the end. Their Google account password is their district password. Students must be signed in to their Google account to access many forms such as the attendance form to be completed daily when attending school remotely.

Spelling City
A student’s username is their district username followed by .nhsd. Be sure to add a period and nhsd at the end. Their password is their district password.
