Aeries Parent Portal parent.twinriversusd.org What is the Aeries Parent Portal? The Aeries Parent Portal is a website and app where families can track your student’s assignments and grades, receive information from their teacher/school, send messages to their teachers, and update your contact information. How do I create a Parent Portal account? Contact your school to update your email address on file and request parent portal access. They will verify your identity and add your email address to the student’s record. You will then receive an email with information on how to login (for new accounts), or an email notifying you that a change was made to your Portal Account (for existing accounts). The next time you login the student will be available in your Aeries Parent Portal Handouts: account (no VPC code required).
