We use Aspen as our student information system. You can log in to see your child’s classroom teacher by following the steps below.

From a Computer:

Go to Aspen Login.
(If you do not know your username or need your password reset, please contact your child’s school directly.)

Click the “Family” top tab.


Select your student’s name.

The homeroom number and teacher will appear in the middle column of the “Details” page.

From a Mobile Device:

Tap the Menu button (top left corner).

Select “Family.”

Scroll down to view the Homeroom and Homeroom Teacher fields.

If you have multiple students, tap their name at the top of the list and select from the dropdown menu.

Please share with us how your child will be getting home daily by filling out the forms below. As of today, we have received responses from 170 families, thank you! We are requesting you take the time to fill out the form as it is critical we know how students are getting home.
