Home Access Center (HAC) Guide

Home Access Center (HAC) is a browser-based student information system that allows you to view student grades, attendance and scheduling information as it is entered in the school district’s database.
Parents / Guardians and Students can use Home Access Center to view student information.

Home Access Center Menu

The menu options in the Home Access Center banner provide access to HAC’s main pages. Clicking an icon displays a page with related tabs, each of which is a self-contained page of information on your student. For example, the Grades option displays a page with tabs on Interim Progress Reports (IPR), Report Cards, and other subjects associated with grading. Clicking a tab displays the page indicated. Most HAC pages also include links that when clicked, display a window with additional details. The following pages can be accessed using the menu options in the HAC banner.

Home

  • Week View – Displays a student’s attendance, scheduling, and grades for the current week. Previous and future weeks can also be displayed. Links are provided for viewing details on individual courses, accessing student fee information, and emailing teachers.
  • Calendar – Displays a month-view of the student’s attendance, scheduling, and grades. Checkboxes are provided for configuring the type of information that displays, while buttons are included for changing the calendar to a daily or week view. Previous and future months can also be displayed.

Attendance

  • Month View – Displays a month-view of the student’s attendance that can be toggled to access all months within the current school year. A color legend identifies the type of attendance displayed. Place the mouse pointer over a day to view more detailed information on absences and tardies.

Classwork

  • Classes – Displays course assignments, including the dates assigned, due dates, categories, potential points, and scores for the Gradebook assignments available in a class. When assignments are ordered by class, class average information is shown below the student’s list of assignments. Teachers can select whether an assignment and its score should be published for HAC. However, unpublished assignments may be included in the student’s averages for a course. Most LISD Teachers use Google Classroom, so the Classwork feature may not be utilized fully at this time.
  • Schedule – Displays the student’s schedule for the entire year. Dropped courses may also be displayed. You can also select to display the list of requests for the next school year in a separate section at the bottom of the page. Links are provided for viewing detailed course information and sending emails to teachers.

Grades

  • Interim Progress Report – Displays the student’s most recent interim progress report, including courses, marks, and comments for an Interim Progress Report (IPR) run based on information in the IPR data warehouse. If comments were entered for the student, a comment legend displays below the course information. In addition, you can select to view any previous IPR run for the current year for which the data warehouse is available.
  • Report Cards – Displays information from the student’s most recent report card run. The page lists marks, comments, and absences related to the student’s courses or competencies.
  • Test Scores – Displays all standardized test scores stored for the student in the eSchoolPLUS Test Center.

Registration

  • Demographic – Displays the student’s basic demographic information.

User Options

  • My Alerts – Allows guardians and students to subscribe to alerts for sending emails on grades.
  • My Account – Allows guardians and students to change their HAC passwords and modify the challenge questions that are asked when users forget their passwords.
  • Logoff – Closes the current HAC session, and returns you to the Log On page.

To download to your Apple, Android, or Kindle mobile device, search your app store for “eSchoolPLUS Family” or click one of the following links: iOS (Apple)AndroidKindle

Digital Report Card Information

Leander ISD has transitioned to online report cards and progress reports, which can be accessed (viewed and printed) by students and parents through the Home Access Center tool. 

If you have not yet logged into your Home Access Center account, please do so prior to the release of report cards to ensure the system has all of your students.

While LISD is working quickly to address customer service requests, please allow 3 business days for resolution of your issue. If you are unable to access Home Access Center and your family needs a printed report card, please contact your campus registrar.

Grade Book Alerts

eSchoolPLUS triggers grade alerts off the due date of the assignment, not the grade itself. If a teacher enters a grade within two days of the due date, a corresponding grade alert is sent to parents. If a grade is entered beyond the due date, an alert would not be sent. Leander ISD does not feel the current configuration of eSchoolPLUS alerts works well for our teachers or our families, and we have requested a product enhancement for changes.
