OnCourse Connect Parent Portal

• OnCourse Connect is a safe, secure way to view your child's school record for the current school year.  OnCourse Connect offers parents the opportunity to become more involved in their children's education. This new Parent Portal bridges the parent/teacher gap and increases awareness of a child's development. Parents/Guardians can monitor assignments, attendance, grades, progress and performance - all in real time. This feature is easy to use and secure.  From the Portal, you can access the following features:

   

           Your child or children's Report Cards

  Your child or children's daily attendance record

  Teacher Gradebook assignments and assignment grades for your child or children

           Your child or children's Marking Period Grades

 

         To access the Parent Portal, click here: https://hoboken.oncourseconnect.com/login and log in with the                      information you have been provided.

A username and password is required.  OnCourse Connect creates all usernames and auto-generated passwords. Usernames begin with the first three letters of your last name followed by numbers.  Students have their own usernames and passwords, which are different from the username and password given to parents/guardians. 

The first time you login using the auto-generated password, you will receive a prompt to create a new password of your choice.  Your new password is private, and the Hoboken Public Schools will not be able to view your new password. 

If you do not have a username and password, the Main Office can help.  To request your OnCourse Connect parent/guardian and/or student login credentials, please email [email protected].

If you have more than one child attending the Hoboken Public Schools, you will see a drop-down menu at the top-left of the screen.  From the drop-down menu, you can toggle between which child you are viewing.  Please login to verify that you are associated with all of the students for which you are the parent/guardian.  If you find any errors, or if you are missing students from your OnCourse Connect account, please contact [email protected].

       Please note: the updates you make for one child do not automatically apply to your other child(ren). For example,         if you have a new home phone number and update your contact information for one child, you will also need to               update the home phone number for your other child(ren). 

 
       It is extremely important to maintain updated contact information, demographic information, and                         emergency contacts.  All updates and/or changes are reviewed by the OnCourse Administrator.
