🔐 Important HAC/Gradebook Update (MFA Required)
The state has added Multi-Factor Authentication for all Home Access Center logins.
To complete the setup, parents must have a valid email address on file in eSchool.
If you already receive emails from the district, no action is needed at this time — your address is already up to date.
If your email or phone number needs to be updated:
👉 Please fill out the Update Contact Form: https://forms.gle/dhMQXs3ZqVBXdYdo7
This helps with HAC access and ensures you receive alerts such as snow day notifications.
⏳ Please allow 48 hours for updates during normal business hours.
(Updates are manual, and none will be processed during the holiday break.)
👩🎓 Student Accounts:
Student HAC accounts also require an email address. These are already set up using each student’s school email address, so no action is needed on their end.
Let’s make it a great start to 2026! 💛🤍
