📢 Important Update for Parents & Guardians: New HAC Login Security (MFA) & Known Issues
To help protect student information, the Home Access Center (HAC)—where you check grades, attendance, and student records—now requires Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA). This means that when you log in, HAC will send a one‑time verification code to your email, and you’ll enter that code to complete your login.
This added step helps keep your child’s information secure.
🔐 What to Expect When Logging In
After entering your username and password, HAC will send a verification code to your email.
You must enter that code to finish logging in.
This is required for all users as part of the new security update.
📧 Not Receiving the Code? Try This:
Check your Spam/Junk folder.
Refresh your inbox after a minute or two.
Make sure your email account is not full.
Click “Resend Code” on the HAC login screen.
If the code still does not arrive, please contact the school office so we can help verify your account information.
⚠️ Special Note for Yahoo Email Users
We are aware that some parents/guardians using Yahoo email may receive a verification code that includes letters or symbols, not just numbers.
If this happens, the correct code is the LAST 6 characters in the message.
Example:
MFA Code: =0D=0A603847
➡️ Your code would be: 603847 (last 6 characters in the real example)
We are proud to recognize our hardworking students for their achievements this semester! 💙💛

They’ve discovered so much about our natural state wildlife and the diverse habitats that make Arkansas so special. From tracking local species to learning how ecosystems thrive, their curiosity and dedication shine through every project.
We are proud to announce that Livi Smith, 6th grade, was selected to have her ornament displayed on the Arkansas State Capitol tree! Her design is showcased alongside ornaments created by other talented students from across the state as part of the Arkansas Celebrates America250 project.
This is a wonderful honor that highlights both Livi’s creativity and the pride of our school community. Families can visit the tree in the Old Supreme Court Room at the Arkansas State Capitol through mid‑January, or explore the full ornament gallery online at https://america250.ade.arkansas.gov/
Let’s celebrate Livi and all Arkansas students who are helping our state shine bright this holiday season! 💙💛
