Technology at the School
We believe that every student deserves total access to the latest educational technologies, to give them the resources they need to perform at their best.
Need a computer?
Computers 2 SD Kids is a non-profit organization that provides desktop, laptop, or tablet devices to families who qualify through their application at no cost.
Need Internet at home?
Cox Communications serves San Diego County with their Connect2Compete program, which provides low-cost broadband access to families.

Families are encouraged to apply on their own or seek help from the technology team at Health Sciences High and Middle College.
Internet Requirements for Student Learning
To support your student’s learning, a reliable internet connection is essential. Students need consistent access to tools like Canvas, educational websites, and video conferencing platforms.
We recommend a minimum internet speed of 3–5 Mbps download and 1–3 Mbps upload per student.
To check your current internet speed, visit https://fast.com. This will help ensure your student can fully participate in their learning without interruptions.
If your internet speed is below the recommended level, please contact the school to request support with connectivity resources.
Grades and Attendance Information
PowerSchool is our system of tracking absences and tardies as well as individual schedules, assignments, and grades for students. Students and Parents/Guardians may access their personal PowerSchool records by going to PowerSchool and entering their personal usernames and passwords. The usernames and passwords for students will be issued after the first week of school. The usernames and passwords for Parents/Guardians will be sent home soon after.
