Class of 2024 Information
Students Not Returning Will Lose Access to HDSB Email Account
As of July 13, 2024 students who are not returning for the 2024/2025 school year will lose access to the HDSB Network & Google Workspace for Education applications, data, and email.
IMPORTANT: If you have used your HDSB email when applying for post secondary, resume, job applications, you will need to update your information and change it to a personal email address before access to your HDSB account is lost.
To retain your Google Workspace data please select one of the following:
Transfer email and Drive files to a personal Google Account using Google Takeout Transfer Your Content - see Transfer their content. Note that Personal Gmail accounts only have 15 GB of free Drive space. All files in your My Drive will count toward your quota.
Archive data using Google Takeout - the traditional Takeout is also available to create an archive of all your data in Google Workspace. This will enable you to easily retain your email, essays, resumes, science projects, and any other files stored on Google Drive before access has been removed to your HDSB account.
Action must be completed by July 13 , 2024.
