The DoDEA myDATA Button Portal is an online tool that allows students, parents, and guardians to monitor DoDEA student’s progress and communicate more effectively and efficiently. It provides instant access to DoDEA student grades and other information anytime and anywhere. The portal is intended to improve the availability and use of data to improve student achievement. Participation in the use of the portal is voluntary. Parents and Students have separate portal accounts.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the DoDEA “myDATA Button” initiative. This initiative provides parents with a web-based “button” linked to the Aspen Student Information System Parent Portal by School Year (SY) 2012-2013.
The portal will provide families with access to their child’s electronic academic records, such as unofficial transcripts and student performance data at any time and any place.
Providing parents with this access will allow them to better plan and manage their children’s educational needs, particularly during school transitions. This project is a reflection of our belief that providing parents access to their children’s educational information contributes to better engagement in school matters, and ultimately, better educational outcomes for students.
The myDATA Button portal is currently available only to the schools who are participants in the pilot launch of the portal. A phased deployment for all DoDEA will take place no later than school year 2013 – 2014. Read More...
Student access is only available to students in grades 4-12 in schools that are participating in the pilot. Students will be provided their logon credentials by their school administration.

Parents who wish to obtain an account must submit DoDEA Form 700 for Consents and authorization to your child's school via e-mail, fax or in person. Students will be registered at their respective schools.
