Before Using Parent Portal

It is recommended that Parent Portal runs on versions 5.5 or higher of Internet Explorer. Before using Parent Portal, determine your version of Internet Explorer by performing the following steps:

Open Internet Explorer. Click the Help button on the menu bar, and then click “About Internet Explorer”. It will tell you the version of Internet Explorer you currently have installed.

If you need to update your version, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and let it review your current system and guide you through upgrading your Internet Explorer.

To Access and Use Parent Portal the First Time

1. Using Internet Explorer as your browser, go to http://www.artesian-letcher.com, which is the Artesian-Letcher School website.

2. Click on "Parent Portal" on the menu on the left side of the page.

3. After reading the instructions and information provided on this page, click the Parent Portal button to enter the system.

4. Find on the top of the screen where it says, If you have been assigned a myCampus Activation Key, click here. Click on the words "click here" in that sentence to enter the system.

5. Type the activation key provided to you by the school in the boxes that show on your screen, then click on the Submit button. It is important to note that all letters in your activation code should be typed in upper case. If you type the activation code in incorrectly, you will be prompted to enter it again.

6. You will also be asked to provide a username and password. Follow the instructions on the screen for providing this information. Be sure to write your username and password down in a safe location so you can refer to it at a later date, if necessary.

7. You will now be able to use your new username and password to log into the Parent Portal system. Return to the Parent Portal main page if you're not there already.

8. Once you have logged in, you should see the names of your children listed on the left side of the screen. Under each name you will see links for Class Schedule, Attendance and Discipline.

• Class Schedule - Click on the Class Schedule link to see a list of your child's classes. Wherever there is a little icon of a notebook shown under a subject, you can click on it to show your child's grades in that subject. Use the back button on your browser to return to the class schedule list.

• Attendance - Teachers will be putting in daily attendance records so you can see what your child's attendance is for the year so far.

• Discipline - This is where certain discipline actions will be shown if your child has any.

Security Features

• Three unsuccessful login attempts will disable the Parent Portal account. In order to use the Portal again, parents will need to contact Linda Whitney to have the account reactivated.

• You will be automatically logged off if you leave the Parent Portal in your browser open and inactive for over 15 minutes.

• All attempts at logging into the system are recorded and monitored, and a full audit trail is tracked on sensitive data. You can view the audit trail at any time when logged into the system by clicking the “View Access Log” link on the left-hand side of the screen.
