Families can now reset their own passwords in Aspen without answering security questions. The “Trouble Logging In” button on the new Aspen login screen will allow family members to choose to either “Retrieve your Login ID” or “Reset your password”. These options will prompt for either the email address on file or the login ID (email address) and send an email to the family member with a link to reset their password. This coupled with the easy translation drop down menu on the  top right corner (English, Spanish, Portuguese) were needed upgrades to the Aspen Family Portal experience. As always, families can either submit a tech ticket via the salemk12.org website or call our helpdesk at 978-619-1450 for assistance.

To access Aspen go to the salemk12.org website and click on “Aspen Family Portal”


Parent Square Guideline


Arrival/Dismissal Protocols

Dismissal Plan
It is very important that we know your child’s dismissal plan so we can ensure they get home safely. If anything is going to change (i.e. you are going to pick up instead of going on the bus) you MUST communicate this to BOTH your child’s teacher AND the office BEFORE 1:30.
