Hi guys... I'm wondering when the schools in St Mary's post what classroom the students are in and where do I find that information? I've looked on the school sites but I don't see anything.

How do you get access to it?

So happy!
The HAC site should be on your schools website. You have to get a log in name and password from the school.
If you had access to it last year, it should be the same user name and password as last.

Not at all. If Bubba is doing well in school and his teachers keep in touch with you, there isn't much need. Bug's account started in K but went dormant for 2 years when she was in private school. It was reactivated with the same account and password when she went back to PS.
Sherri, I would just call the school directly since your child is new to the school system. They will be happy to help you.

Others mentioned HAC but if you don't have access to it yet you will more than likely have to wait until open house which is August 19th for most schools. Here is the link for the public schools: http://www.smcps.org/files/Main/Front/2014-2015 Open House Schedule.pdf

The HAC can be found here. https://hac.smcps.org/homeaccess Student schedules are posted.
Came across this on the school website. "If no access to HAC, contact Ms. Willis at rewillis@smcps.org" If I remember right log in user / password info was sent to me via email.

Thank you everyone. I got an email yesterday saying a postcard with her class info will be on it by Monday... plus there is the open house so we can drop off all of the supplies.

Just got notification that CCPS is switching to the HAC system. No more PIV system.
Dear Parents,
This message is to inform parents that this year Calvert County Public Schools will be using a new online application called Home Access Center (HAC). This new portal will replace Pinnacle Internet Viewer (PIV). The Home Access Center will be accessed similarly to PIV and will allow parents and students to view assignments, grades, interims, report cards, and other helpful pieces of information.
Guardian letters containing details, credential information, and instructions for logging into the Home Access Center will be sent home with students next Wednesday, August 27th.

I like the fact that we can keep track of absences(sp?) now. It makes it easier to know how many days they missed, especially if my kids decide to ditch school.
LOL
If they are in high school that can be creative and it takes a while for it to catch up to them - but it does.
The routine is:
1. get on school bus
2. go to homeroom
3. at some point walk out of school and wait for friends to join you
4. return to school to take bus home
As kids we were alway told if the truant officer caught you on the street...
I think parents should be allowed to have access to the GPS location of their children's cell phone.
Hey, why fight the cell phone battle, use it to your advantage and track their movement

In the HAC, each unlawful absence shows up as soon as the first teacher takes attendance and is recorded throughout the day for each class period. So even if a kid doesn't skip the whole day but just certain classes, parents can find out as it's occuring.
Yep, but I will also tell you that when they first implemented HAC teachers did not update it all that often. Some teachers were very good at posting homework assignments, others didn't do it that often and then their were a few who simply didn't do it, they put the responsibility on the child.
Hopefully there is now uniformity in reporting.
I also don't recall seeing attendance

I am very glad this technology and the Govt. oversight did not exist when i went to high school, p.s. graduated in 1970. My sister got caught skipping school one time back in the old days, school called my parents up for a meeting. dad went to meeting, school complained your daughter is is skipping days and classes. my father aka Pappasan was very concerned asked to see her school records, because all the ones she brought home said she was a 3.5 average student, thought she might have been altering them. School looked up the records and agreed she was indeed a 3.5 average student. Father looked at the principal and said gee, you think you are challenging her enough, how can she skip all these days and still pull a 3.5 average. Sister got in some trouble but it wasn't really bad, other than promising to quit skipping school and a couple days days of restriction. PS she was smarter than me. I just never got caught skipping.
