Question: Can my spouse and I each have our own Single Log-In for Parents accounts?

Answer: Yes. You can each create your own account independent of one another.

Question: Does this mean anyone can access my student’s account?

There may be special circumstances whereby another person is requested by the student’s parents or guardians to be allowed access to a student’s information. NOTE: The Access ID and Access Password for your student should be protected. Only provide this information to individuals who need to monitor your student’s progress.

 Question: Will my Username and Password on my Parent Account change each year?
