Click the Community Login button located in the top section of the website. Once you have arrived to the login page, enter your username and password in the designated area to gain access to the Community Portals. If you are new to King School or have forgotten your login credentials please refer the section labeled "Forgot Password or New to King School"

Parents are able to easily update their contact information on file with the school as well as what is listed in the online community directory within the Parent Portal. Please note, after you submit changes on the website it takes up to 48 hours for the contact information to update on other technologies feeding from the King Site, including Magnus and the King App.

• First, login to the Parent Portal. Once you have logged in, click on the "Profile" button in the upper left hand corner
• This will bring you to the "Profile" tab that houses your account contact information

Change your current address, email or phone number

• Scroll down to the "Address" or "Contact Information" sections of the Profile tab
  • Click the "Pencil" icon to edit information
  • To remove contact information completely, click the grey "X" button
  • You can also add contact information by using the green "+" icons

HIDE ONLY CERTAIN INFORMATION FROM DIRECTORY

As a default, your contact information is available to other parents as well as King Faculty & Staff within the online Community Directory. Only members of the King Community have access to the Community Directory within the website portal pages. If you would like to hide certain information (Ex. Address) from the online Community Directory click on the word next to the contact information you would like to change. For Address click the word "Home", for Email click the word "Email" and so on for the contact details you would like to hide.

Next you will see a pop-up box, which will allow you to select "Override: Hide From Everyone" which will remove that particular contact item from the online Community Directory. Please note, if you would like to hide more than one item (Ex. Address and Mobile Phone) you will need to repeat this process for each contact item.

Be sure to click the green "Update Profile" button before exiting the screen.

Change your First Name, Last Name, or indicate a nickname

If you would like to update your first name, last name or indicate a nickname for yourself or your child, please email databaseadmin@kingschoolct.org.

If you have a dual role within the school (Ex. Faculty or Staff member and a King Parent), you have access to both Faculty & Staff and Parent portals. After you login to the Community Portal, you will default to the Faculty & Staff portal. To access the Parent Portal, select "Portals" in the red bar at the top of the page. The dropdown menu will allow you to select the Parent Portal.

There, our faculty have already recommended courses for next year. The faculty have made their recommendations based on performance and skill development to date in their current classes.

Middle School

Click here for step by step instructions. Parents should select the Request or "+" button to confirm these recommendations. Rising Grade 8 parents may choose from the Performing Arts elective offerings that are available. Please do this together as a family. Please contact Ben Magdison if you have questions. 

Upper School

Students and parents may turn recommendations into requests and may choose elective offerings that are available according to the student's grade level and prerequisite courses. Please do this together as a family.

Start with the Course Request Guide, organized by grade level, which combines general academic advising (including how many courses to request), requirements, course sequencing, technical instructions, important procedural notes, and links to summaries of all the elective courses available. For your convenience, the same guide is also embedded atop the Course Requests page in MyKing.   

Summer Institute
As you plan, keep in mind our Summer Institute, where students may take courses for enrichment, to fulfill graduation requirements, or to accelerate their program of study in Visual Arts or Mathematics. (Incidentally, if you are planning to use the Summer Institute to advance in Mathematics, please contact Ted Parker; MyKing will not allow you to request a course for next year if you're not already enrolled this semester in the prerequisite).

Use Your Team!
Your advisor, your teachers, your Grade Dean (especially for students in Grade 8), the College Counseling Department (especially for students in Grades 9-11), and I are all available to assist with course requests. As Ms. Sadlowsky says, "Do not worry [or wonder] alone!"

If you are viewing a calendar that combines events from various categories (Ex. School Calendar) you can use the "Calendar Tools" to remove calendar categories that do not apply to you. This personalizes the view of the calendar, so when you return to the page the calendar will only display the categories you have selected.

First, you should login to the website to ensure that the "Calendar Tools" you select are saved. If you update the calendar tools without being logged in, the next time you clear your browsing history, your preferences will be lost.

Next, navigate to the calendar you would like to filter.

Scroll down the page to "Calendar Tools" and uncheck unnecessary calendar types. Then click "Update Calendar".

If you would like to subscribe to a calendar(s) to receive alerts or reminders about upcoming events, click the orange "Alerts" button in the upper right hand corner of the calendar you are interested in.

The King School App is a quick and easy way for our community to access information on the go. Within the app you’ll find our Athletics schedules, school calendars, and news. You can download the King School App in the Apple app store by searching “King School CT” or by clicking this link from your Apple device. 

We are currently developing an updated King School App that is scheduled for release in the Fall for iPhone and, new this year, for Android. The new app will be more interactive and engaging, allowing you to filter content for athletic games, news, and calendared events while storing your preferences for subsequent use. We will let you know when the new app is ready to download. During the development process for the new app, the current iPhone app login will be unavailable to parents. This means that while you can continue to use the current app to access information that does not require login (Athletics, News, Calendar), parents will unfortunately not be able to use the current app to access data that does require login (Community Directory). We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to access our directory via any web browser on your desktop computer or mobile phone.

(Note: you will not see all of the teachers at your school, just the set of teachers that your children have classes with.) 

Step 2: Click on a square to book that time. 

Step 3: Click "Create Appointment".

• At any time you can click on "printable schedule" and print the resulting web page to get a hard copy of your schedule. You will also have the option to email your schedule to yourself.
