Parent Portal Access for Viewing Report Cards
Term 2 Report Cards will be published to the MyEducation BC Online Parent Portal on Friday, March 6, 2020.
Please
ensure your accounts and passwords are up to date prior to this
date. Each parent or guardian will have their own separate account as
long as they have separate email addresses.
To Access the MyEducation BC System:
1. Visit https://www.myeducation.gov.bc.ca/aspen/logon.do.
We recommend that you make this a bookmark and that you use a desktop computer or laptop instead of a mobile device.
2.
Make sure popups are enabled for your browser. If you are having
trouble in one browser (such as Safari), we recommend trying another
browser (such as Firefox).
3.
Your Login ID is the email address that you have given to the school.
DO NOT copy/ paste the password – the copy process sometimes adds a
space. Both user names and passwords are case
sensitive. Five unsuccessful log in attempts will disable your account. Passwords are good for 90 days.
4.
Enter your user name and password then click “Log On” to access the
system. If it is your first time signing in or it has been more than 90
days since your last password change, you
will be prompted to change your password immediately. You will also need
to enter security information so that in the future you can click “I
forgot my password” to receive a new password.
5. Once inside the MyEducation BC system, you can navigate around to view information for your student(s). When report cards are published to the Portal, they are accessible in the Published
Reports
area and will appear as PDF documents. These should be printed or saved
electronically by parents because they are posted for a limited amount
of time.
PLEASE NOTE: Students that are enrolled in courses outside of Handsworth Secondary
or at different grade levels, may have more than one report card. The following scenarios will likely include multiple report cards for students:
- Students cross-enrolled with other schools
- Students enrolled in Distributed Learning courses
- Students enrolled in Academy courses
- Students enrolled in a course above or below their grade level

Unlock Your Future: The Key to Scholarships Seminar
Date: Monday, October 28th, 2019
Time: 6:30pm
Place: Handsworth Small Gym
Admission: By optional donation
Join
Brittany Palmer of Unlock your Future as she leads students and parents
through a step-by-step program for navigating the scholarship process.
Students in all grades and parents are welcome and encouraged to attend:
it is never too early to get started. This comprehensive presentation
covers topics ranging from building your scholarship foundation to
crafting a strong personal statement. Contrary to popular belief,
students do not need 95% averages or international achievements to win
scholarships. Through this seminar, Brittany debunks common scholarship
myths and breaks down the complex process into a manageable form. Using
this program, Brittany and her younger brother Bo collectively won 35
scholarships totaling over $125,000. Since 2005, she has shared her
story and strategies with tens of thousands of students, parents and
educators. The Unlock your Future Scholarship Workbook ($25) and
Scholarship Kit ($30), which are accompaniments to the program, will be
available for purchase. Through this dynamic and informative
presentation, Brittany demonstrates that scholarships are indeed
possible.
