Illuminate DnA (Data and Assessment)

What is Illuminate?

Illuminate DnA is a data system that integrates a variety of student assessment and demographic data in one place. Teachers and administrators can view pre-built reports and sort or filter by relevant groups, or can create custom reports using state-level and local assessment information to guide instruction. Illuminate also allows educators to build and administer custom on-line assessments, and student portal access for students to participate in assessments and for students and parents to view assessment results.

For Parents:

Log into PUSD’s Illuminate Parent Connection at this link:

You will see the screen below. If you don’t have a parent portal yet, you will click on “Create Account” to set up your portal… but first email Assessment and Accountability Assistant Laura Keller, lkeller@pleasantonusd.net, with your first and last name and the name of your elementary student(s), and she will send you your access code. The access code is needed only once when you first register for the portal. This portal is ONLY for elementary school report card access. Secondary student information is accessed through Q.

After you have created an account, you can log into the Illuminate Home Connection with the user name (your email address) and the password you created, or you can click on “Forgot Password” if necessary and a password reset message will be sent to your registered email address.

Please contact Assessment and Accountability Assistant Laura Keller (lkeller@pleasantonusd.net) with any questions.

For Students:

Log into your PUSD CLEVER account, then click on the link to Illuminate. You will be able to log in through Google and will not need an additional password. Another method of logging in, as long as you are logged into your PUSD Google account, is to use the link to the Illuminate Home Connection login (https://pleasanton.illuminatehc.com/login,) and then click on "Sign in With Google" and you will not need to enter a password.

After you have logged in, choose "Continue to Portal" (Portal allows you to view your Report cards and any Assessments you have taken online with Illuminate. Choose "Take Assessment" only if your teacher is assigning you to an online assessment).

To look at your report cards from this year, log into the "Portal" and then choose "Report Cards" from the menu on the left side of the screen. Your screen will not have as many options as the sample below. Once you have opened the report cards, you can view them in Illuminate or can download them to keep or print for yourself.

After you have made a choice, you will be able to view your report card or any other scores that have been entered into your portal. You will not have all the choices shown in the example below.

At the top right of the screen you can choose to change the language or to log out when you are finished.
