Aspen Mobile for Students and Families

With Aspen's Student and Family portals, teachers, parents, and students have an arena for open communication. And, parents can see all of their children's information with a single login.

To access all features of the portals, log on to the full site by typing your district’s Aspen URL into a web browser on your desktop or laptop computer.

For quick, convenient portal access, however, you can log on to Aspen Mobile. This streamlined, on-the-go version of Aspen lets you check your or your student’s information anytime, anywhere – even from a smartphone or tablet.

Notes:

  • In some districts, when parents log on to the Family portal from their desktop or laptop, Aspen Mobile opens automatically.
  • Aspen Mobile adjusts based on the screen size of your mobile device or browser window. What you see might be slightly different than what is shown here.
  • Students and families will see slightly different sets of screens in their respective portals.
  • Your district's settings determine whether you use Aspen Mobile or the New Portal for mobile access to your student's information.

To access Aspen Mobile for students and families:

  1. On your mobile device, type your district's Aspen URL into the address bar of a web browser. The login screen appears.
    Tip: Create a bookmark or shortcut to Aspen Mobile on your device’s Home screen.
  1. Type your Aspen Login ID and Password, and click LOG ON. Aspen Mobile opens.
