Cool New Phones are here!
This summer HESD Technology installed new phones throughout the district. Our new service provider, Jive Communications, uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to provide voice communication using our data network. Your new phone will function largely like the phone it replaced with a few differences and some functional improvements.
Here are some of the changes:
1. Phones must be plugged into network ports (not the old phone ports).
2. You do not have to dial a nine or two nines to call an outside phone number.
3. You have a new extension number. Your school office will be providing you with an updated extension list for your site.
4. You can call any extension within the district directly without dialing an outside number-- just pick up your phone and dial their four digit extension.
5. All users now have voicemail. (this is so cool--- your voice mail is automatically sent to your email as an audio file)
THE JIVE USER GUIDE
Learn how to set up your voicemail
- important: change the password from the default
- record a concise "unavailable message"
Learn other features of your phone, like transferring calls and sending a call directly to voice mail
Remember-- update your email signature if it includes your phone extension

The coming weeks and months will be a period of growth while we become accustomed to the new phone system and discover new features. The Technology Department is committed to providing excellent service for the new phone system.
After we have addressed functionality issues, we will begin working on request to move phones to preferred locations.
If you need assistance with your phone, please submit a support request at https://support.hsdnet.local/index.php
(please note, tech support tickets can only be submitted from school, not from home or Starbucks etc)
