Arkansas School Children

Welcome to the Arkansas eSchool & Home Access Center (HAC) Portal Guide

Education in Arkansas has embraced digital transformation, making it easier than ever for parents, students, and educators to stay connected. Two of the most important online tools available to Arkansas families are Arkansas eSchool and the Home Access Center (HAC). These platforms provide secure, user‑friendly access to student information, academic progress, and essential school records. Whether you are a parent monitoring your child’s grades, a student checking assignments, or an educator managing classroom data, these portals are designed to keep everyone informed and engaged.

What is Arkansas eSchool?

Arkansas eSchool is the statewide student management system maintained by the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). It serves as the backbone of student data management across public schools, charter schools, and education service cooperatives. Through eSchool, administrators and teachers can efficiently track:

  • Student demographics and enrollment

  • Attendance and discipline records

  • Medical information

  • Scheduling and testing data

  • Grades and academic performance

By centralizing this information, Arkansas eSchool ensures accuracy, consistency, and transparency across the state’s education system.

What is the Home Access Center (HAC)?

The Home Access Center (HAC) is the parent and student portal that connects directly with eSchool. HAC empowers families by providing real‑time access to important academic information. With a secure login, parents and students can:

  • View grades and report cards

  • Track daily attendance

  • Monitor class schedules

  • Review assignments and progress reports

  • Communicate with teachers

This level of access helps parents stay actively involved in their child’s education while giving students the tools they need to take responsibility for their learning.

Arkansas eSchool and HAC reduce the need for paper reports and streamline communication between schools and families. Parents no longer have to wait for quarterly report cards to see how their child is performing—progress can be monitored anytime, anywhere. Students benefit from accountability, while teachers and administrators save valuable time with automated reporting and data management.
