ARIS Parent Link (APL) is a new online tool that will help parents get up-to-date information in nine languages about academic progress of their children.

In APL you will be able to view your child’s attendance records, course grades, scores on state tests and in-class assessments. You will also be able to learn how your child’s school compares with other NYC schools.

To utilize ARIS Parent Link, you will need a computer with internet access, an e-mail address, your child’s ID number (OSIS#) and the temporary password.

            Log in at www.arisparentlink.org

Student ID: The nine-digit number given to your child in school. For security purposes, this information cannot be included in this letter with your child’s temporary password. If you do not already know your child’s student ID, call me at school and I will help you get it.

            Temporary Password: One will be given to you upon certification of your authority for access.

About your password: The first time you log in you will be asked to create a permanent password and to store your email address. If you ever forget your password, you can get a new temporary password. Call me and I will help you.

An e-mail address: You can register for a free email address through Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. If you have problem getting an e-mail address, call me and I will help you.

Use of a computer: If you need to use a computer, you can visit the nearest public library and use the computers there for free. In my office at school, I have installed a computer with internet access for parents. You are welcome to come by and use it.
