Student HAC Account

Prior to the First Day of School on August 12, 2021, students will be able to preview their schedule in Home Access Center. LHS will be opening schedule preview on August 3. Any schedule seen in Home Access Center prior to the hard copy received on the first day of school is TENTATIVE.

Home Access Center (HAC) is a browser-based student information system that allows you to view grades, attendance and scheduling information as it is entered in the school district’s database. If you have not set up your student-view of HAC, please follow the two steps below.

Students, it is imperative that you set up your individual student-view in HAC and that you regularly check your grades to monitor your progress.

9th, 10th and New-to-LHS 11th & 12th are invited to Lion Camp August 3rd at 5:30 PM!

The student username is your LISD email, firstname.lastnameXX@k12.leanderisd.org - the XX are the last two digits of your student ID. The initial password is Lions2022! and you’ll be prompted to reset your password after your initial log-in.

If you forgot your username/password, the reset button is not currently working. Please email our registrars and they will reset your password.

From the Home Screen, click on the “Classes” tab.

Click on the "Schedule" tab.

The bottom of the page is where the full schedule is available.

• C1 = cycle 1, C2 = cycle 2, C3 = cycle 3, etc.
• A cycle = a grading period, a 6 weeks cycle
• C1, C2, C3 = first semester class
• C4, C5, C6 = second semester class
• C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6 = full year class

This student has a different second semester class during first period, fourth period, and fifth period. Classes 2, 3, 6 and 7 are full year classes.

This student has a different second semester class during second period, sixth period, and eighth period. Classes 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7 are full year classes.

The menu options in the Home Access Center banner provide access to HAC’s main pages. Clicking an icon displays a page with related tabs, each of which is a self-contained page of information on your student. For example, the Grades option displays a page with tabs on Interim Progress Reports (IPR), Report Cards, and other subjects associated with grading. Clicking a tab displays the page indicated. Most HAC pages also include links that when clicked, display a window with additional details. The following pages can be accessed using the menu options in the HAC banner.

Week View – Displays a student’s attendance, scheduling, and grades for the current week. Previous and future weeks can also be displayed. Links are provided for viewing details on individual courses, accessing student fee information, and emailing teachers.

Calendar – Displays a month-view of the student’s attendance, scheduling, and grades. Checkboxes are provided for configuring the type of information that displays, while buttons are included for changing the calendar to a daily or week view. Previous and future months can also be displayed.

Month View – Displays a month-view of the student’s attendance that can be toggled to access all months within the current school year. A color legend identifies the type of attendance displayed. Place the mouse pointer over a day to view more detailed information on absences and tardies.

Classes – Displays course assignments, including the dates assigned, due dates, categories, potential points, and scores for the Gradebook assignments available in a class. When assignments are ordered by class, class average information is shown below the student’s list of assignments. Teachers can select whether an assignment and its score should be published for HAC. However, unpublished assignments may be included in the student’s averages for a course. Most LISD Teachers use Google Classroom, so the Classwork feature may not be utilized fully at this time.

Schedule – Displays the student’s schedule for the entire year. Dropped courses may also be displayed. You can also select to display the list of requests for the next school year in a separate section at the bottom of the page. Links are provided for viewing detailed course information and sending emails to teachers.

Interim Progress Report – Displays the student’s most recent interim progress report, including courses, marks, and comments for an Interim Progress Report (IPR) run based on information in the IPR data warehouse. If comments were entered for the student, a comment legend displays below the course information. In addition, you can select to view any previous IPR run for the current year for which the data warehouse is available.

Report Cards – Displays information from the student’s most recent report card run. The page lists marks, comments, and absences related to the student’s courses or competencies.

Test Scores – Displays all standardized test scores stored for the student in the eSchoolPLUS Test Center.

Demographic – Displays the student’s basic demographic information.

My Alerts – Allows guardians and students to subscribe to alerts for sending emails on grades.

• *NOTE*: eSchoolPLUS triggers grade alerts off the due date of the assignment, not the grade itself. If a teacher enters a grade within two days of the due date, a corresponding grade alert is sent to parents. If a grade is entered beyond the due date, an alert would not be sent. Leander ISD does not feel the current configuration of eSchoolPLUS alerts works well for our teachers or our families, and we have requested a product enhancement for changes.

My Account – Allows guardians and students to change their HAC passwords and modify the challenge questions that are asked when users forget their passwords.

Logoff – Closes the current HAC session, and returns you to the Log On page.

Change Student – Allows guardians who have two or more students to display a pop-up window for selecting another student.

Parents/guardians and students have a responsibility to ensure that the username and password that is provided for accessing the Home Access Center is kept secure at all times. Students should not share their username or password with other students. If a student or parent/guardian believes that their password may have been compromised, the student or parent/guardian is responsible for changing their password. Changing a password can be done online by clicking on “My Profile” in the Home Access Center, or by contacting Let’s Talk.

Leander ISD has transitioned to online report cards and progress reports, which can be accessed (viewed and printed) by students and parents through the Home Access Center tool.

If you have not yet logged into your Home Access Center account, please do so prior to the release of report cards to ensure the system has all of your students.

If you have any issues, please complete a customer service request (Let’s Talk). While LISD is working quickly to address customer service requests, please allow 3 business days for resolution of your issue. If you are unable to access Home Access Center and your family needs a printed report card, please contact your campus registrar.

Check out the mobile Home Access Center app – eSchoolPLUS Family – for an optimized viewing experience on your mobile device! The eSchoolPLUS Family app displays most of the same information as HAC on the web, but in a mobile-friendly format.

To download to your Apple, Android, or Kindle mobile device, search your app store for “eSchoolPLUS Family” or click one of the following links: iOS (Apple)| Android | Kindle

The first time you open the app, you will be asked for your district. Search for and select Leander ISD. Then use the same login and password that you use for Home Access Center to access your records.

If you are using the mobile application and are interested in looking at detailed grade information, please make sure you are looking under the Classwork icon. Once in the Classwork area, you will need to scroll left and right by week to see specific grade details. Also, please remember that teachers have the ability in the grade book to weigh assignments differently depending on the assignment category and tasks. This information is not easily seen on the mobile application, but is available through the Home Access Center website.
