Aspen Information

Parent Portal Login Changes

As part of our ongoing process to improve and secure Aspen, our student information system, we will be changing how all users login to the Aspen Parent Portal. We will also be moving Back to School “paperwork” into the Aspen Parent Portal. This is a change from last summer when LMS/LHS Back to School forms were done on a different online platform, and elementary paper forms were sent home at the start of the year. Below are the details of this change.

New Aspen Parent Portal Logins

Current parent portal user accounts have the format fam_firstinitallastname (fam_asmith, for example). On Thursday, July 3rd, your parent portal account will be changed to the email address we have on record (the one this email was sent to). Over the past few weeks, we have worked to ensure all students have at least one parent/guardian with an email address on record, who will be able to access the Aspen Parent Portal.

On the afternoon of July 3rd, you will be sent an email confirmation with your new Parent Portal login information. For many of our elementary school families, this may be the first time you have logged into Aspen; for now, you will only need to verify you can login. Later in the summer, we will send instructions on how to navigate Aspen and how to complete the Back to School forms.

Back to School Forms

Back to School Forms

Traditionally, the Londonderry School District has sent home paper packets at the start of each school year. This required the printing of many thousands of pages and countless hours of work by our administrative assistants and parent volunteers each summer. This summer, all required forms will be completed in our updated Aspen Parent Portal. The following student information will need to be reviewed and/or updated for each student before the start of the school year:

Student Information

·         Address

·         Contact phone numbers and emails

·         Legal information (parenting plans, court orders, orders of protection)

Health Information

·         Physician name and phone number

·         Medical condition, illnesses or operations, physical disabilities and/or restrictions

·         Allergies

·         OTC medication approval forms

·         Prescription medications and self-administration of medications (Doctor signed forms must be brought to the school nurse at the start of the year along with medication)

Policies and Procedures

·         Laptop and Chromebook agreements

·         Student handbook agreements

·         Technology application agreements

Optional forms, such as: PTO and Friends of Music memberships, free and reduced lunch applications and general school information, will be sent home via a welcome back to school email by your student’s principal before the start of the school year.
