To keep our correspondence with instructors organized, we have added a "Note from Admin" field in Section 1 of the Admin Approved/ Unpublished classes.

Check the Admin Approved/Unpublished classes tab, then click on "View Details". Scroll to the bottom of Section 1 to see you have a "Note from Admin".

If you have a note please reply inside the textbox in Section 1.

• Students who enrolled in a "Part 1", two-semester core class have been rolled over into "Part 2" of that class for the spring semester. We will make this visible to instructors and the students in about a week or so, and will email you when this takes place.

• Once instructors and families are notified of the roll-over, please confirm that your Part 1 students intend to continue with your class for Part 2. If not, please ask them to unenroll.

• Prior to November 11th instructors will need to request to unenroll students through the Instructor Portal for students who have not unenrolled themselves.

• Log into your HSC Instructor Portal
• Click on the blue tab labeled, "Admin-Approved/ Unpublished Classes" towards the bottom of the page
• Review the Class Title, Grades, Day, Time, & Location

We invite you to create a brief video showcasing yourself and your individual classes for our social media and website platforms! This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with parents on a more personal level and inspire them to enroll their students in your classes. Please find the instructions and suggested topics below to guide your discussion. We’re excited to see your creativity!

HSC will edit your videos👍🏻

Video Content: Keep the video at 2-3 minutes maximum and follow the steps below:

1. Begin with a *hook statement and when finished hold a smile for 2 seconds.
2. Then go right into introducing yourself and the class you will be teaching and hold a smile for 2 seconds.
3. Next, take a pause to glance at your notes for your 1st topic to discuss.
4. When ready, begin with holding a smile for 2 seconds then go right into your 1st topic.
5. Follow these steps until you complete all the topics you'd like to discuss.
6. End with a smile and hold it for 2 seconds.

*A hook statement is a compelling opening sentence or question designed to grab the viewer’s attention. The intent is to engage viewers right from the start, making them curious to learn more.

• Record in Landscape Mode.
• Position yourself so that you have plenty of headroom space at the top and at your sides
• Prop your phone at eye level or slightly above (helps eyes to appear more open and alert)
• Ensure good lighting and clear audio.
• Be yourself – let your passion and enthusiasm shine through!
• Remember to smile 😃
