Good evening GRES families,
It was a welcome sight to have students and staff back in the halls this week! We know it was challenging with the rise in cases, but unfortunately it is somewhat expected after a long break. Please know our mitigating efforts are still in place and our custodial team is working hard. Teachers and staff are doing their best to keep students 3 feet or more apart and reminding children to wear their mask appropriately. See the Nurse's Notes below for a status on the update to exclusion guidance.
The end of second quarter is right around the corner, 1/21/22. Grades will go live shortly after in the Home Access Center. In an effort to be prepared, instructions to login are below in a few different formats. Please know if you struggle to get into HAC, we are happy to help you if you call the office at 630-553-5513.
How to log in to the Home Access Center
If you do not currently use the Home Access Center (HAC) or are a new family, you can sign up with these directions. Also note that each parent/guardian may create his or her own login.
-
Open Home Access Center at https://hac2.y115.org/HomeAccess.
- Click the link at the bottom of the box that reads "Click Here to Register for HAC."
- Fill out the form with your information (your information as the parent, not your child's information).
- At the top of the next form, create a username.
- You will then be asked to create two security questions (and answers). These will be used if you ever need to reset your password. (Example questions: What was my high school? or Where was I born?)
- You will receive a message stating that an email has been sent to you. Please check your email for the link to set your password.
- Open the link in your email and answer the two security questions that you created.
- Choose a password. Your password must be 8-20 characters long.
- You will then enter the Home Access Center. You may use this username and password every time you return to the HAC.
Basic Troubleshooting
Why does nothing happen when I click a link? Make sure that you have set your browser to always allow pop-ups from this site.
What happens if I forget my login information? Contact your child's school.
Finding a Username or Resetting a Password
-
Open Home Access Center at https://hac2.y115.org/HomeAccess
- Click the link at the bottom of the box that reads "Forgot my Username or Password."
- If you have forgotten your password, enter your username. If you have forgotten your username, enter your email address.
- Follow the steps similar to the steps described above in order to gain access to your username and/or to reset your password.
HAC View with Multiple Children in the District
If you only have one child in the district, his/her summary page will appear. If you have multiple children in the district, a list of all of them will appear. Click on the name of the child you wish to view. If you do not see all of your children listed when you login to Home Access Center, please contact the school of the child who is not listed, and the school personnel will adjust the information in the system to correct the problem. To view a different child, click on the "My Students" link. This will take you to the list of your children for viewing.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Michele Breyne
GRES Principal
