How Do I Login as a Parent/Guardian?
Tap the “Student Info” icon to login as a parent or guardian of an ASD student. Your login ID is the email address associated with your Q ParentConnection account. A randomly generated app password was sent to that email address previously. If you cannot find this email, click “Forgot Password” in the app and a new password will be emailed to you. This will be different from the password that you use for Q ParentConnection.


SMS Text Operations
We have a new number specifically for emergency text messages.
Finalsite Information SMS Messages:
- Emergency text messages from 53291
- General/outreach messages from 97178
This change allows us to maintain message deliverability while returning to the familiar setup of separate numbers for emergency and general messages.
We encourage you to save both numbers in your contacts so you can quickly recognize messages from our school.
*Note: The existing short code 606-80 may still be functional on your phone
