ATTENTION Safari Users!!

Hello Safari Users!
There is a known issue about the default privacy settings in Safari, conflicting with Google (we all know Apple and Google don't like each other). The recommendation is to download Google Chrome at https://www.google.com/chrome/

The recommendation is for all Heathcote related online school-work be done using Chrome.

If you prefer Safari, you will need to change your privacy settings. Go to the Safari Preferences Menu, click the Privacy icon and choose "NEVER" under the section that reads, "BLOCK COOKIES AND OTHER WEBSITE DATA."

Good Luck!

Happy navigating!!

I'm having trouble seeing the comment box or publishing a comment...
If you are having trouble leaving a comment you are probably not using Chrome. If you ever experience trouble seeing or publishing comments you should make sure you are using Chrome. We have noticed some browsers don't play nicely with the comment function.

We have multiple family members with Google accounts. What is the best way to access multiple Google account on a shared computer?
Chrome. Chrome has a great feature called "multiple users" which allows multiple Google accounts to be logged in simultaneously in different windows without causing conflict between them. Here are two posts with directions on setting up and managing multiple users in Chrome:
