Office 365 available FREE for Students

Dear families,

We want to ensure that everyone is aware that students with the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board can download Office 365 for use at home, which includes; Word, Excel, Outlook Mail, PowerPoint, OneNote, OneDrive etc., FREE OF CHARGE, from www.office.com.

Yes, that's right!  All students have the ability to download and use a copy of Microsoft office at home free of charge! Students must also know their BHNCDSB username and password to do the installation. This user name and password is the same as what they use to login to Brightspace/D2L.

The following link will walk you through how to install it on your computer: Install MS Office for home.  After watching this video, please visit www.office.com to get started!
