ASPEN Parent Portal Account Verification Instructions
What is EMCSD’s ASPEN and Parent Portal?
ASPEN is El Monte City School District’s Student Information System (SIS). Every school district has a SIS to keep records of all their enrolled students. SIS’ are used to keep important information on students and families including emergency contact and health information. Having up-to-date student records helps us best serve your student.
Our ASPEN Parent Portal is a new feature for our parents and guardians to have 24/7 access to student records. As we continue to grow this system, we plan to give parent/guardians access to student grades, schedules, attendance records, and much more!

IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend using a computer, laptop, iPad, or tablet.
Currently, the ASPEN system is not mobile-friendly. A computer, laptop, iPad, or tablet is the best way to access the ASPEN online system. You can also use your student’s device (Chromebook). EMCSD has a 1:1 ratio for student and devices, meaning all returning EMCSD students should have been provided a Chromebook.
