What is the Aspen Parent Portal?
Families of DCPS students in Grades 6–12 will be able to keep up with their child’s progress in school using the online Aspen Parent Portal. The goal of this new digital portal is to create an open line of communication between teachers and families.
How can I access the Parent Portal?
Parent Portal accounts are automatically generated based on the “Grant Parent Portal” check box for the individuals on the “Student Contacts” tab in Aspen. You should have received an email with your username (your email address) and a link to set up your account. Once you log on initially and set your password, the resources below should help with the navigation.
Here's a quick guide to getting set up and navigating the Parent Portal.
What if I have not received my account log-in information?
If you have not received the account setup email, you will want to:
- Make sure the email did not get lost in your spam filter.
- If the email is not in your spam filter, contact Dicia Jackson to update your email address. Once a valid email address is listed, you should receive an account setup email the next day.
What if I have a valid email but cannot access my account?
If you set your password already and cannot remember it, you can use the “I forgot my password” link on the home page to reset it. If the “I forgot my password” link on the home page does not work, and you still have trouble, reach out to your student’s school registrar to manually reset the password.
