3 Things to Complete for the New School Year
If you have not completed these steps yet, please take care of them as soon as possible.
1. Complete the Universal Benefits Application
Previously known as the Annual Income Form.
This application connects eligible families with benefits, including SUN Bucks, California’s summer grocery benefit. It also helps EUSD receive funding for student programs and services.
Before you submit:
- Complete only one application per household.
- Include all EUSD students in your household.
2. Make Sure Your School Has the Right Information for Your Student
2026-27 Student Data Confirmation is now open in the Aeries Parent Portal. Please sign in and complete Data Confirmation for each student, even if your family’s information has not changed.
Looking for your student’s teacher or class schedule? Complete your 2026-27 Data Confirmation, then check your student’s information in the Aeries Parent Portal.
- Elementary families: View your child’s teacher information.
- Cole Middle School families: Select your student, then click on Profile to view their class schedule.
What is the Aeries Parent Portal? The Aeries Parent Portal is where families can access important information about their student throughout the school year, including attendance, grades, report cards, test scores, and other available school documents.
Why is Data Confirmation important? Data Confirmation is completed at the beginning of each school year to make sure the school has the right information to contact you, support your student, and complete required school-year forms. During Data Confirmation, families can:
- Review and update student, contact, and emergency information
- Complete required annual forms and notices electronically
- Review and acknowledge the 2026-27 Parent/Student Handbook
Have more than one child in the district? Data Confirmation must be completed for each student separately, even if your family’s contact information is the same. If multiple children appear in your Aeries account, switch between students and complete the process for each child.
