TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
The technology department has been working closely with two vendors to deal with a few technical problems. The first one is the Canvas Student app. Unfortunately, a bug in the app causes it to report an error that says, “whoops, something went wrong.” Clearing the cache tends to fix the issue for most users but doesn’t resolve the problem. Another workaround is to login to Canvas using the Safari app by clicking on the web link on the iPad called eSchool. We are working with the company to get the underlying issue resolved.
The second common issue is related to the Self Service app, which students use to install district apps on their iPad. Some of our users have reported that this app does not appear on their iPad, or they cannot install apps. If you are having this issue, please turn in a student help request on www.hilliardschools.org/Helpdesk. We are working with the vendor to get a more permanent resolution to this issue as well.
ATTENTION SENIORS!
Per Ohio state law, the Ohio Department of Education will pay for one administration of a college readiness examination to all juniors. Due to COVID-19 school closures in the spring, we were unable to complete the SAT administration this past April. On October 14, all seniors, who were scheduled to take that spring test, will have the opportunity to take the SAT test at Bradley. This date was pre-assigned by the state and SAT. On October 14th, students will report to school, and the district will mimic the administration procedures typically enforced at a National, Saturday administration of the SAT, with appropriate social distancing and other safety protocols.
Below is additional information that will be helpful on both test day and leading up to test day. Please contact our school counselor’s office for additional questions or clarification. Students will NOT need to register individually; we will register students at the district level directly with SAT. Lastly, all seniors who are taking the SAT will need to report to Bradley on October 14, regardless of Hybrid group.
- All SAT test security measures will be in place for this state assessment. Students should be prepared NOT to bring their cell phones into the testing location, and should have proper identification with them. (Current school ID, driver’s license, state ID, etc.)
- Students who are found to be in violation of the “No Cell Phone” rule may have their phone confiscated, and face additional discipline consequences, including possible suspension.
- A portion of the pre-administration will allow students to choose up to four colleges they would like their scores to be sent.
- Students should plan to bring an SAT approved calculator to the test administration.
- Students should be able to see their scores from the state administration in their SAT college board account approximately 4 weeks from the test date.
- Please check the College Board website for specific questions. https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat
Due to COVID-19, the SAT is subject to change depending on our current instructional mode at Bradley. We will continue to communicate changes and updates as soon as possible.

District Remains in Hybrid
As a reminder, the Hilliard Schools are currently in the Hybrid Learningeducational mode. (If your student is in the Online Academy this only impacts them if they go into a building for a class.) During the Board of Education meeting on September 1, a resolution was passed, which will keep our district in the same educational mode for two weeks to provide consistency for our community. We will continue to update our families through email, texts and phone calls if changes occur.
Inclusivity and Justice Task Force Work
Since June, the Inclusivity and Justice Task Force has met regularly, and has begun breaking down the goal for Hilliard City Schools: how might we become a model district for students of color. You can read more about their work from the Director of Inclusivity and Justice in this week’s guest blog.
