The MAISD Cooperative Schools of Choice Agreement includes the following schools:

Helpful Information

• Students can be denied based on suspension, expulsions, poor attendance/truancy, poor academic standing (GPA lower than 2.0), and the number of behavior referrals.
• For the reasons mentioned above, parents must sign a release of information to allow the school of choice to request records from previous schools.
• There are no guarantees of any siblings receiving admission into the county-wide Schools of Choice program.
• Once accepted into the School of Choice, there is No Need to re-apply yearly, as long as you reside at the address stated on your Schools of Choice application.

Synergy ParentVUE is a tool to help families stay informed about their student's progress. This tool can be used to access your student's grades, attendance information, and also to communicate with teachers. Students will have access to the same information using Synergy StudentVUE.

Each parent/guardian listed in Synergy must have a ParentVUE account. If a parent/guardian does not have an account, contact the student's school directly.

I do not have a ParentVUE login. How do I create an account?
If you need an activation key to create an account, please contact your student's school.

How do I log in to the ParentVUE/StudentVUE mobile app?
To use the Android or iOS app, please select TCAS from the list of MI districts, or enter the district office zip code of 49343.

I forgot my password. How do I reset my password?
Parents have the ability to reset their own passwords. If you have forgotten your password, follow the below steps:

1. Click on the Login to ParentVUE/StudentVUE link on the top of this page.
2. Click I am a parent

My account has been disabled. How do I re-enable my account?
For security reasons, ParentVUE accounts are disabled if a password is entered incorrectly more than three times. To re-enable your account, please contact your student's school.

Can I use the same login for all my kids at TCAS?
Yes. Your ParentVUE login gives you access to information on all your kids enrolled at TCAS. If you are not seeing one or more kids with your login, it can be an indication of a duplicate record for you in the system. Please contact your student's school (the student you are unable to see in ParentVUE) to fix this issue.

Due to the Lost Child Act, any child enrolling in a Michigan school district must provide a birth certificate with a raised seal.  No copies will be accepted.
