Principal's Message

Dear AEC Students and Families,

 

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We look forward to seeing our students back at the AEC this fall! At the Alternative Education Center, we pride ourselves on creating opportunities, making connections, and showing each other grace. We cannot wait to continue this mantra throughout the new school year.

 

The Chaffey Joint Union High School District has partnered with the following to facilitate effective communication between our schools and our families. We want you to have access to these three websites (and apps) that will inform you about your student’s progress and update your student’s records. Take a look at the specifics about each as they are all different.

 

1. Aeries Parent Portal

a. View attendance in real time

b. View transcripts

c. View class schedules

d. View report card grades

e. View Graduation Status Reports

f. Update contact information (phone number, email, work phone)

g. Complete your summer mailer - No more paper packets!

2. Parent Square

a. Receive text messages, emails, and phone calls from your student's school

b. Receive report cards

c. Communicate with school staff members and teachers

d. View school news and events

3. Canvas Parent

a. View assignments

b. View current grades

c. Monitor academic progress

 

 

Please be on the lookout for a message via Parent Square, in your email or text messages, for our summer mailer. We will no longer be sending registration packets via U.S. Mail. Instead, we will be asking families to complete registration for the 2024-2025 school year online using Aeries Parent Portal. We have been working hard to prepare for this new process by communicating with you on Parent Square and by phone to give you access to the information you need to complete your registration.

 

If your student will need transportation to arrive to and from school, please fill out the transportation application by clicking here: Transportation Waitlist Link

 

- STEP ONE: Go to the Parent Portal Login using a web browser on any internet connected device by clicking here:

- STEP TWO: Enter the email address that you provided our school previously and click NEXT. On the next screen, you will enter your password and click SIGN IN. **Select FORGOT PASSWORD to reset your password, if needed.

- STEP THREE: Follow the prompts to complete data confirmation for your student(s). At the end of the process, you will review your entries and select FINISH AND SUBMIT.

- Online registration should be completed by parents/guardians prior to attending registration day. If not, parents/guardians will need to attend registration day with students to complete.

Parents and guardians, your role in your student’s development is a huge part of their success. Your involvement helps to build a healthy partnership with the school.

As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions and enjoy the rest of your summer.
