Tips on logging in to the HISD HUB from home:

1.                   Use Google Chrome.

2.                  Google “HISD HUB”

3.                  One of the first choices should be “PowerUp/HUB – Houston ISD.”  Click on it.

4.                  Click on the orange button near the bottom of the screen that says “HUB Sign In.”  A screen should come up that says “HISD Single Sign On Service”

5.                  Where it says someone@example.com, enter the student’s username.  Username is “student\s1900000” – the numbers being your student’s HISD ID number.  So a student named Jay Smith, with an ID number of 1923456, would have the username of “student\s1923456.”  The word “student” changes the domain to the student domain.

6.                  When typing the username, be sure you are using a BACK SLASH, not a forward slash.  The back slash key is located above the Enter key on the keyboard.

7.                  Password is the student’s birthdate in an 8 digit format. For example; Jan 1, 2010 would be 01012010.
