Back-to-school verification

Families must complete online back-to-school forms, also known as back-to-school verification, before the start of the year. 

It's important complete the process prior to the start of the school year to ensure access to resources for your student/s leading up to the new school year:

• Pay fees for meals and/or register for athletics and activities.
• Get teacher assignments and class schedules.
• Monitor academic progress, assignments and tests.
• Submit student absences.
• View your student’s report card.

Why it matters: Verification ensures that each student’s school has confirmed emergency contact information and releases for the safety of each student. 

Family deadlines: It’s important that each family completes the verification process before the first day of school. Verification is easy to do online, on your own time, whenever it’s convenient. 

• Even if families’ contact information has not changed, it’s important to log in to access a variety of other student information in the coming weeks, including class schedules and teacher assignments, attendance, school handbooks, progress reports and grades for middle and high school students.
   
• High school students will not be able to enroll in fall activities until the back to school verification process is complete. 

Login details: Families may complete the online back to school forms by logging in to your ParentVUE account. If you need help finding your login/password, email ACShelp@ahschools.us or call 763-506-HELP (4357) for assistance.

Middle and high school families: Back-to-school verification also includes the option to enroll in an optional protection plan for district-issued Chromebooks, which are assigned to students in grades 6-12 to ensure access to technology systems that support classroom learning. 

Discounts, benefits and reduced fees available: Families may also apply to receive additional educational benefits, discounts and reduced fees after completing the verification process.
