ALMA Parent Portal

ALMA is our school's information system, providing easy access to student data, communication tools, and classroom resources.

Getting Started with ALMA

How do I log in to ALMA the first time?

You will receive an email from notifications@getalma.com. The email contains your username (firstname.lastname) and a link to set your password.

Click on the link and follow the instructions for setting your password. Your password must be between 7-30 characters and it must match 3 of the following 4 requirements:

1. Letter

2. Number

3. Capital Letter

4. Character (!@#$%^&*)

Once you have successfully set your password you will be redirected to your Alma homepage (cityacademyschool.getalma.com) where you can log in! You can bookmark the login page for easier future access.

All student accounts are also accessible through the CLEVER online portal.

How do I link my Google Account for Single Sign-On?

Once you have activated your account, you can connect your Alma account to your personal Google account for SSO.

Log into Alma > click on your profile circle in the upper right corner > click on Connected Accounts > then Connect your personal Google Account.

You should now be able to log into Alma with the Sign in with Google option.

How do I edit/update my personal information?

Updating Your Family Information

Accurate contact information is essential for effective school communication.

Back to School Forms: You'll have the opportunity to review and update all family and student directory information when Back-to-School Forms are due.
Mid-Year Changes: If you need to change your address, phone number, or other contact details during the school year, please contact the school front desk at klowery@cityacademystl.org. This will ensure that our records are accurate and that your child's teacher has the latest information.

Is there an ALMA app for my phone?

Yes, there is! Check out how to download here!

What if I missed the account activation email?

Families who do not have access to the ALMA Portal will be able to request an account activation by providing City Academy with certain information. Please email klowery@cityacademystl.org for assistance.

What if all my students are not listed in my ALMA account?

It is important to ensure that you can access all your City Academy students through a single ALMA account. In the event that you observe a student missing from your ALMA dashboard, kindly reach out to Stephanie Dooley at sdooley@cityacademystl.org for assistance. Please provide the necessary details, and we will work to promptly resolve any discrepancies in your student listings.

How can I change my Emergency Notifications Preferences?

Emergency notifications are messages sent out at the school-wide level (snow days, lockdown, special event, etc.) that the administration wants to communicate to parents. You cannot opt out of these messages but you can decide how you’d like to receive them:

Phone Call: You will get a phone call to the first number listed in your profile.
Text Message: You will get a text message to the first number listed in your profile with the SMS box checked.

By cicking on your initials in the upper-right-hand corner, you can access your notifications preferences.

How can I "Opt-In" to the Parent Directory?

To be included in the Parent Directory (also known as the Buzz Book), simply:

Log into your ALMA account.
Navigate to the "Directory Preferences" section under your account settings.
Opt-in by selecting the "Include me in the Parent Directory" option.
Confirm and save your preferences.

This will ensure that you are listed in the directory and can connect with other families at City Academy
