The Aspen Family/Student Portal supports the goals of the Easton Public Schools to engage students and their families and provide opportunities for communication. Providing timely information for parents, guardians, and students about student performance serves the school system’s Strategic Plan priorities of maximizing individual student achievement and enhancing relationships within our community.
View this short video on how to navigate the portals. The first five minutes is mostly for the Student Portal and then it reviews navigation for the Family Portal.
Aspen is a Student Information Management System created by Follett Software. Easton Public Schools uses Aspen to manage student information including grades, scheduling, attendance, discipline, special education, and other data.
While the entire district uses Aspen, Student Portal accounts are only available for Oliver Ames High School and Easton Middle School students.
The Family Portal is a part of Aspen that lets parents and legal guardians see certain information about their own children in one place. An Aspen Family Portal account allows you to follow your student(s) progress. This account is for parent/legal guardian use only and will allow you to view all family members in multiple schools with just ONE account/login.
Aspen protects your student’s information with the same advanced technology your bank uses to protect your financial accounts. The Family and Student Portals have been carefully configured to ensure that your student’s information is confidential and can only be retrieved by you – the parent/guardian, authorized school personnel, and the student themselves.
If you have students at Easton Middle School or Oliver Ames High School, they have their own student account which you have been sharing. It lets them see information about themselves. With the Family Portal, as a parent/guardian, you now have your own login and can see all family members, regardless of school, on one account.
