Good Afternoon,
The Elementary Report Cards for Marking Period 3 are currently being processed and will be available to parents in ParentConnectMonday April 6, 2020 early morning.
The report cards (in pdf format) will show in the Marks Tab as follows:

Following is some information for administrators on how parents can access report cards data in MIStar ParentConnect and how schools can help parents with login info if parents can’t login. Please note that if a parent uses ParentConnect, he/she should be able to see data for all their students and do not require separate logins for the different schools.

1. How do parents login to ParentConnect? To login to ParentConnect, parents need their PIN and password; there are 2 options to get this information.Option 1 (Screen below – Recommended):Parents go to Dearborn Schools web site then ParentConnect link. If they don’t know the login info, they click (Need Your LoginInformation) link and it will prompt them to enter their email address as provided to the school and entered in MIStar (Menu/Enrollment/Student Editor/Contacts) and click Submit. This process emails them their PIN and Password.

Option 2 (Screen below): If parents are unable to receive the email (no email, etc), then administrators need to provide the info, administrators can access MIStar Menu / System / ParentConnect Manager / Contacts Passwords as indicated below. Even though Option 2 is available for administrators, Option 1 is recommended because parents have to login to their email to retrieve the info and you can always add the email in Student Editor/Contacts if missing.

Welcome back everyone. I hope everyone was able to relax a little during spring break. I know this is a different type of break this year but I still hope everyone enjoyed some fun family time, some relaxation and some much needed sunshine while it was out!
