Dear Dwyer Middle School community,

We are excited to welcome you to the 2025-26 school year!

It is time to complete your child's online data confirmation. Please read through the following information carefully.

If your student is returning to a Huntington Beach City School District (HBCSD) school, you already have an account. If you are new to HBCSD, you should have received information on how to log in to your Aeries Parent Portal account. 

Login credentials:

• Your username is your email address

• Your password is the same as it was last year 

If you have forgotten your password, request a new one using the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen.  The system will email you a link to reset your password.  

We recommend completing this process on a desktop or laptop computer. Mobile devices are much more challenging to use with this system. If you need assistance or access to a computer, contact the school office at 714-536-7507.

When you log in to the Aeries Parent Portal, you will start the data confirmation process to verify and update information. There will be documents to review, print, and sign as part of this process. Once you have completed the data confirmation process, print the signed data (or provide a screenshot) confirmation document and bring it to your assigned registration appointment.

Some important data sections to note include the following:

School Funding Form  (also known as the Meal Application Form):

School Funding Form (Meal Application Form)

Income Survey (also known as the Alternative Income form):

The Income survey is essential (and separate from the School Funding Form) for your child's school to receive the appropriate funding based on the information you provide. The information submitted on the form is a confidential education record protected by all relevant federal and state privacy laws of educational records.

The Huntington Beach City School District receives funding through several important programs like Title I, the National School Lunch Program, and other grants, which are based on the data we collect during enrollment. This information helps identify which funding sources we might be eligible for to support our schools for things such as promoting safer schools, offering students increased college- and career-ready learning opportunities, and additional parent training opportunities.  

Please join the many other HBCSD families in completing the Income survey and help ensure our students and families receive all the funding and opportunities they deserve.

Transportation

To find more information on the bus stops or submit your application, please visit the District website under the Transportation Department webpage.
