The Student Hero App
| NEW! Hero has rolled out a new app for students as of August 2020. Students can download the new app by searching "Hero by Schoolmint" in their app store. Students who have previously created an account and used the old app, can log in to the new app with their existing credentials. It is recommended that all students are using the new app by the end of the school year. Learn More! | |
| ORIGINAL - The old student app still works. Students can continue to use the old Hero app - "Hero k12 Students" in their app store. Eventually, all users (school, students, and parents) will be moved to the new app, and the old app will be removed. |
