Welcome Hms Parents and Guardians!
Hello, and welcome to Highcrest Middle School’s 2022-23 school year! As your Technology Integration Specialists, it is our focus to support innovative teaching and learning while helping our students develop their 4C skills (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking) and digital responsibility. Below you will find some information to help familiarize you with our mobile learning program. Please feel free to explore this website for additional parent and student resources as well!
Google Account for Education
District 39 has created educational Google accounts for every student. These Google credentials (which can be found in the placement email you received) allow our students to access most of our iPad apps and Google Apps of Education (like Google Doc and Slides). This account is also your student's email address. PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO CHECK THEIR EMAIL DAILY as it will play an integral part of their learning.

Schoology
Highcrest Middle School uses Schoology as our online learning management tool (a.k.a. a virtual classroom). Schoology enables our students, parents, and teachers to engage with learning materials and their school community from the classroom and beyond.
Students log into Schoology using their school email and passwords. You as parents/guardians are also encouraged to create a parent account so that you can see all of your student’s course materials and grades. Here is some more information about how to create a parent/guardian account.

WHMS News
These LIVE morning announcements take place the first day of every school week. They are completely student-run including script writing, filming, directing, and performing. Every week, a different homeroom is in charge of the live broadcast. Students in the class work diligently to prepare for it the week prior to the live recording. Our 2022-2023 Broadcast schedule can be found HERE.
While newscasts are aired live at school, they are posted for community viewing within 24 hours. All morning broadcasts past and present can be found HERE.
