Do I have to have an email address? Yes, ABI accounts are based on email addresses.

What additional information, other than an email address, is required prior to creating an account? The student’s permanent identification number, valid area code and telephone number, and a verification code.

Will I need a password?  Yes, when you create a new account with your email address, you will create a password.  After you log in for the first time, you will be required to change your password.  Passwords are required to be changed every three months thereafter.

During my new account registration, I did not receive a verification email confirming my email address and password.  What should I do next? Check your Spam folder. Be sure to add ojusd@oakdale.k12.ca.us to your "contacts" or "safe senders" list to ensure you receive these emails.

Can more than one parent/guardian have an account to access student data? Yes, just as long as they each have their own email address.

I have two students at OJUSD, how do I access the information for both of my children? Create an ABI account for one of your children and login to that account. At the top right-hand side of the screen there is a drop-down box that allows you to add an additional student to your account.

What should I do if I forget my password? There is a “Forgot Your Password?” link on the ABI login screen.

What information can I view on ABI? Daily attendance, standardized test score data, contact information, transcripts, grades, immunizations, class assignments.  Note:  Transcripts printed from the district parent portal are unofficial and will not be accepted by other schools or colleges.

The contact information on my child's account is out of date, how can I update it? Contact the school by telephone and request the change.

When will I be able to view progress and quarter grades? You will be able to view these grades before they show up in your mailbox! View Term Dates

Why does my student have 2 classes during the same period? The teacher has not deleted your student from their class. It won't affect their grades. Contact the teacher and ask them to delete your student from their class. Email to a teacher can be sent from the Staff e-mail page on the website or from the active link on the Class Schedule page in ABI.

Why does my son have so many red squares? Those are the entered assignments by the teacher. Most likely no scores have been entered yet.  If many assignments remain missing and then one appears or it’s been more then two weeks since any assignment has appeared it could also be that he is missing a lot of work.  The teacher may have entered scores, but he had no scores to enter. Contact the teacher.

Why did my daughter get a B on that quiz?  A "B" is a wonderful grade and nothing to worry about.  It shows that she is right on track.  As for specific questions that she missed, you might want to refer to her quiz paper or ask her directly which areas she is finding difficult.  Perhaps she needs to study more, or perhaps she is not reading directions carefully.  There are all kinds of reasons why a student may not always get an A.

In the "grading complete" column, it says "No". Does that mean my daughter didn't turn it in?  No, it means all grades have not been entered yet.

My son took a test in your class yesterday, but I don't see the results. What grade did he get?  Grades usually take several days to post because of the time involved in grading, entering into a hard copy gradebook, and then entering onto the computer system. Checking on grades once a week or once every other week might be more realistic.

My daughter turned in all her makeup work today.  When will her grade be updated?  Most work is graded and entered into the gradebooks within a week, but it may take longer when it is makeup work because it means going back to check on the requirements of the assignment..

The assignments are numbered 31 and 33. What happened to #32?  This class was not required to do #32. Other classes were. This will not affect your student's grades.

My daughter swears she turned in #14. Why doesn't she have credit for it?  Most often when students turn in an assignment and no credit is given, it is because no name was on the paper. Unfortunately, as often as teachers remind students to put his/her name on the paper, there are always several without names.  There are also times when students truly believe they have turned a paper in, only to discover it in their backpacks a week later, or to find out that they were thinking of a different assignment. Be sure to check backpacks and binders.
