• Parent Portal

  Once a student is enrolled, Holy Names provides parents access to a Parent Portal. The Parent Portal provides parents and guardians access to their student's classroom pages, assignments,  attendance, schedules, and grading information. You'll also find The Resource Board that offers clickable tiles such as the "Parent Place" (the principal's parent information center), handbooks, forms, and the "Cafeteria Corner" where you can create an account for your student. 
  
  By providing parents and guardians access to this information, we are encouraging active participation by parents and guardians in their child’s education and progress.

  ***If you need help with your Portal account or need to sign up for a Portal account, please email your request to dperritano@ahns.org or cinsero@ahns.org
