SHS FAQ

  • Can I check my son's/daughter's grades or attendance online? Livonia Public Schools is dedicated to communicating with parents and guardians regarding their child’s progress in school.  One of the tools used to reach this goal is MiStar ParentConnect. This integrated system, with student records, gradebook, food service, transportation, and assessment components, provides essential information to parents of all K-12 students attending Livonia Public Schools.


As part of the student registration process, the parent or guardian should provide an email address. Once this email address is entered into the student system, an email will be sent to the parent or guardian with their PIN and password, as well as the web link for ParentConnect. The link is also found on the district or school website under the Parent section. After logging into ParentConnect, the password may be changed by clicking on the Account link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

Parents and guardians may sign up for email notification for several items, such as assignments, attendance, and food service. While logged in, the parent would click on Email Notifications in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and select which notifications they want to receive for each of their students. Once checked, a daily summary is provided to the email address of the ParentConnection account.

ParentConnect provides:

  • One confidential PIN (Personal Identification Number) and password per parent/guardian to access information for all of your children attending Livonia Public Schools, Kindergarten through 12th grade.
