  • Specific Space Search - You may use the space search, located at the top of every manual page to enter keywords and return suggestions specific to the space/manual in which you are conducting the search. e.g. Serving Line will return suggestions where "serving line" appears in the Newton manual.


Accessing the Administrator Console

Access to the MySchoolApps admin console is limited to District users only.  Parents (or anyone submitting online applications) do not have accounts in the system.  The admin interface URL is located at  https://www.myschoolapps.com/Admin.

Your account should have been set up by a user at your District with DistrictAdministrator role privileges OR at the initial system configuration/setup by Heartland.  If you need an account, please consult a user in your District with the necessary privileges so they can create one for you.

The admin interface can no longer be used with Internet Explorer 6 or 7.  Please use a modern standards compliant browser such as the latest Google Chrome, the latest Firefox, Safari 5+, or Internet Explorer 8+.

To return to the MySchoolApps Administration homepage, click on the MySchoolApps logo in the upper, left corner of the page.

The District Dashboard displays the number of applications received Today, the Last 7 Days, the Last 30 Days, and the Total (all Time). You can use these numbers to compare the number of applications brought in during synchronization with Franklin/MSA Client.
