The Indiana Assessment Family Portal is a secure online tool where you can view your child’s ILEARN, IREAD, or IAM results. It helps you understand your child’s strengths, areas for growth, and how they’re performing compared to grade-level expectations.

Parents must have an access code and register for the system. Access codes will be distributed at Parent-Teacher Conference Day on November 4th. Please plan to attend for in-person instructions and guidance. If you cannot attend, codes will be mailed home after the conference.

Students in grades K-2 will be bringing their devices home nightly now. Students in grades 3-5 will bring their devices home nightly unless it was marked otherwise during registration. Please make sure that your student has a place to charge their Chromebook every night.
