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”.
