School login information
If you do not have a login name/password for your online Avenir portal, you will need to contact Michael Lapomardo. He can register your school and modify your login information. There is one login username and password for each school. It is the decision to have one sole person in charge of that information or share it with additional teachers. Student registration opens later in the school year. That is when you will see a Senior Festival tab. Until then, you can modify your contact information. All home schooled students need to have and provide proof of their educational plan through an eligible Central District school system. |
