The Parent Hero App

Hero is in the process of updating all apps (users, students, and parents.) Users and students have already been upgraded to the new app services. Our product team is working to update parents to be on the new app services as well. We will let you know when these services are available for parents. In the meantime, parents will need to continue using the original Hero app - "Hero k12 Students" in the app store.
