This lesson will guide you through creating and managing student passwords that grant access to the Home Connection Portal and online testing.
You will need to have the permission to Manage Student Portal Access which can be granted by your school or district administration. In addition, the Home Connection Portal must already be set up and enabled at your district.
Where to Start
This lesson begins assuming that your student already has a Student Portal account. To learn more, visit Student Portal Access/Password Setup.
