Accessing the Parent Portal
…or… getting a handle on
how your child is doing in class
So you’re wondering how your kid is doing in
class. “But what is the best way to find out?”
you ask yourself.
Bob says,
“The answer is the
Aeries Parent
Portal…online
access to your
child’s current
grades.”
Why the Aeries
Parent Portal?
•See your child’s grades as they are posted
by participating teachers
•Eliminate the need for those pesky weekly
progress reports.
•Improve communication between you, your
child, and your child’s teachers.
•Stay involved in your child’s learning.
