Question 3

How do I get a H.E.L.L.O. membership?

Accepted Answer

H.E.L.L.O. memberships can now be purchased on Bookmart Marketplace for all homeschool students. Once a plan has been purchased, your student will receive an email from HELLO within 48 hours confirming that the membership is active.

Question 4

Will emails be sent to parent or student email accounts?

Accepted Answer

It is important to note that although you may receive marketing notifications about new courses and general communications to both email addresses, all email correspondence associated with the bookings for each H.E.L.L.O. student are sent to the student's email address. We understand that homeschooled families are not always accustomed to checking student email accounts. Because we cannot change the email address associated with the H.E.L.L.O. membership, we recommend you change your settings so that your student's Springs email will automatically forward to your preferred email account. This will ensure that you do not miss any important emails from the program or your H.E.L.L.O. teacher.
