Home Access Center
To support students’ academic success and strengthen the partnership between parents, teachers and students, District 99 uses an online system called "Home Access Center" or HAC. This system provides real-time access to classroom grades, daily attendance, schedules, and assignments due. Both guardians and students have access to the system, and have separate logins. For guardians with more than one student at District 99, only one login is required. More information is available here!
