Benicia Unified School District

Parent Data Confirmation

(Opens August 7th 2023)

Dear Families,

Beginning on August 7th, ParentSquare and Aeries will be open for Parent Data Confirmation (aka “Online Registration”) and student schedules. You can use the instructions below to set up your accounts, complete parent data confirmation, and receive your student’s schedule.

STEP 1: ParentSquare

Having a ParentSquare account will let you see messages from your student’s school, fill out forms, and receive secure documents.

For help with ParentSquare:


New Account:

If you don’t already have a ParentSquare account, you’ll receive an email on August 7th, inviting you to join ParentSquare. If you haven’t already, to create an account, click the “Activate your account” button in the email and follow the instructions.

If you did not receive an invitation email, please contact your school site to check your contact information.

NOTE: When creating your ParentSquare account, make sure to enter the same email address that received the invitation email. If you need to update your contact information, you can do that later during the parent data confirmation process.


Existing Account:

If you have an existing ParentSquare account, you can log into it with your usual username and password at https://www.parentsquare.com/signin . If you’ve forgotten your password, use the “Forgot password?” link on the Sign In screen.

STEP 2: Aeries Parent Portal

Having an Aeries Portal account will allow you to see your student’s attendance, grades, and class schedule. It is also the account you’ll use for our yearly Parent Data Confirmation (“Online Registration”) process.


New Account:

If you don’t already have an Aeries Parent Portal account, you’ll receive an email from ParentSquare on August 7th, saying that you have a new Secure Document to read. This document contains the account creation code and instructions you’ll need to get into the Aeries Portal.

To create an Aeries portal account, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to https://aeries.beniciaunified.org/student/
  2. Click “Create New Account”
  3. Set the Account Type to Parent/Guardian, then click Next
  4. Enter your email address in the first two boxes, then choose a password and enter it in the bottom two boxes. Then, click Next.
  5. Aeries will send a confirmation email to the address you listed. Click the “Confirm This Email Address” link in the email to verify your account.
  6. Click “Return to Login Page”. Enter your email address, then click Next. Enter your password, then click Sign In.
  7. The next page will ask for information about your student to tie them to your account. This information is in the Secure Document.
  8. On the next screen, Aeries will list the contacts associated with the student. Select your record from the list. If you just see a “Loading” box with no contacts, that’s okay, just click Next.
  9. You now have an Aeries parent portal account linked to your student.

Existing Account:

If you have an existing Aeries Parent Portal account, you can log into it with your usual username and password at https://aeries.beniciaunified.org/student/ . If you’ve forgotten your password, use the “Forgot Password?” link below the sign in box.

If you need to add a new student to your existing account, use the following steps:

  1. Go to https://aeries.beniciaunified.org/student/
  2. Log in to your parent account
  3. In the top right of the screen, click your email address to bring up the user menu
  4. Click “Add New Student To Your Account”
  5. The next page will ask for information about your student to tie them to your account. This information is in the Secure Document sent to you via ParentSquare.
  6. On the next screen, Aeries will list the contacts associated with the student. Select your record from the list. If you just see a “Loading” box with no contacts, that’s okay, just click Next.
  7. Your new student is now linked to your parent portal account.

Student Accounts:

For middle and high school students who would like to set up an Aeries Student portal account, the instructions are nearly the same as the “New Account” instructions above. Set the Account Type to Student, and use the same student information from the Secure Document.

STEP 3: IMPORTANT: Parent Data Confirmation

To complete parent data confirmation (“online registration”), log into your Aeries parent portal account. You will automatically be put into the parent data confirmation system, or can click in the red bar along the top of the screen to go there manually. Make sure to go through each page and confirm that all information is filled out and correct.

NOTE: If you have changed addresses over the summer, contact your school site to provide residency verification. Aeries parent data confirmation does not handle physical address changes.

STEP 4: Schedules

Upon completion of the parent data confirmation process, you will be able to access other areas of the Aeries portal. Schedules will be released to the Aeries Portal , August 7th.
