Aptos Junior High is moving to a new grading program called School Loop.

Parents need to visit this website to register themselves with the program. PARENT REGISTRATIION

Students need to visit this website to login: Login is student id and a six(6) digit birthday- numbers only

We are just starting with School Loop so grades and homework will be the first things that start to come up-as teachers become more comfortable with the program their websites will expand. So please be patient with us as we learn the program right along with you.

School loop is an amazing program. Here are a few things that it does when you are registered.

Sends out a nightly email with all grades and assignments

Allows you to contact the teachers through the program

Allows students to download assignments that are posted by the teachers…and much more.

The Home Access Center (the program that you are now using) can still be accessed by clicking here: Home Access Center

We will not be using the program for grades, but you can check finished progress reports and report cards as well as attendance.
