Volunteers will be available on the first day of school to assist families with locating their child’s homeroom. New families may have trouble creating an Aspen Parent Portal account.
In order to find out your child’s homeroom assignment, parents will need to log into Aspen Parent Portal https://aspen.cps.edu/aspen/logon.do.
- Log into Aspen
- Click the “3-line” navigation button at the top left of the page
- Click on “Family”
- This page will provide your child’s demographics including their homeroom number.
Note: If you have multiple children linked to one Aspen Parent Portal, you can navigate to the other children by clicking the down arrow next to the student’s name at the top of the page.

Students can also log into the Aspen Student Portal to see their homeroom and courses that are scheduled for this school year.
- Log into Aspen
- Click the “Academics” tab at the top of the page
- You will see a list of all courses the student is enrolled in including their homeroom.
New students and parents of new students must first set up a CPS account before gaining access to either Aspen Portal.
Setting Up a CPS Account
If your child is enrolling from another CPS school, they will already have a CPS account and there is no need to set up a new one. For students who are new to the district, please use the link below to walk you through how to set up Anthony’s CPS account. You can try to set it up today. However, it may take 24-48 hours after enrollment to set up your child’s CPS account.
When setting up the account, you will use the student ID# (see above) when asked for the claim code. Students must be signed in to a CPS account in order to access Google Classroom.
If your child is new to the district, click on the link below and go to “Claim Your Account”. From there you will be able to use your child’s student information to set up their account.

Once the CPS account has been set up, you can access all class assignments via the Google Classroom app in the email account. Parents, be sure to sign up for Google alerts from your child’s Google Classrooms. Teachers use Google Classroom to assign classwork and communicate with parents/students. Parents may also wish to sign up for weekly summaries of their child’s progress.
