Family Connection Access

•  Family Connection is… •  Highly configurable •  Unique to each school site •  Personalized •  These factors enable schools and districts to align

usage with their goals and/or curriculum •  Each student has an account that is accessed

with a user name and password. •  Parents and guardians can also be given

access to an account related to their child or children. Parent access is more “view not do”.
