Parent Portal

In our continuing efforts to enhance communication with students and their families, Richmond Public Schools provides the Aspen Online Family Information Portal. The portal provides you with timely, relevant, and easily accessible information about your student’s education. 

You will be able to review your child’s Student Detail by Question (SDBQ) Report for each test completed, and, in most cases, you will be able to view a personalized video that accompanies the SDBQ Report for your child. This is a customized video that provides an overview of the SDBQ report, explains specific details from your child’s SDBQ report, and directs you to resources on the Virginia Department of Education’s website (https://tinyurl.com/VAparentpage) to assist with your child's academic needs. 

Your account contains information and confidential information about your child including access to Grades, Attendance, Assignments, and Access to Virginia’s Parent Portal to retrieve SOL results.
