FEATURED EVENT: 
Career and College 
Readiness Day
On Wednesday, Oct. 24, all high schools participated in Career and College Readiness Day. Each school developed career and college field trips and arranged guest speakers and study skills workshops for 9th and 12th grade students, while 10th and 11th grade students had the opportunity to take the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). Pictured here are students who visited the PCC Rock Creek Campus and learned more about some of their program offerings, such as Diesel Service Technology.

Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an advanced security layer included on Microsoft Outlook accounts to make it more difficult for hackers to gain access to and control of your e-mail account. MFA will be enforced for all adults in HSD on Thursday, Nov. 15. We are only focusing on our Office 365 e-mail platform (Outlook) at this time. We are encouraging staff to enroll in MFA and start using this prior to the Nov. 15 deadline. Instructions on how to configure MFA is available here. (Please note that this is much easier to do on a computer than a mobile device!). And a list of FAQs is available here. Both documents are housed in JITTER.
