AERIES PARENT PORTAL
Many parents have already set up a Parent Portal for their students.  If you have not done so already you still can.  A Portal allows the parent to log into the Aeries system to view their student’s grades in each class.  Parents are finding this helpful to better track how their students are doing in school.  To set up a Portal the parent must first contact the school to have an email address entered into the system.
