01 / About Helix

What is Helix?

Helix is the student management system Haeata uses across Years 1–13. It helps staff manage student records and gives whānau access to the information the school has made available through their caregiver account.

Additional official Helix logo

Use the official Helix Caregiver Portal on your computer or the Helix SMS app on your phone. Both use your authorised caregiver account.

First time using Helix? Go to Getting started for simple sign-in and password instructions.

06 / Learning

Learning progress and achievement

Helix may show assessment results, reports and NCEA information where the school has made those sections available. Results shown in the caregiver app depend on the learner’s year level, school settings and publication of results.

If you have questions about information shown in Helix or cannot see an expected result, contact Haeata rather than assuming the record is missing.

07 / Choosing the right tool

Helix, Skool Loop and Kindo

Haeata uses different digital tools for different purposes. Use the relevant school-approved system for each task.

Helix

Student management and caregiver access to information available in the portal.

Skool Loop

School communications, notices, interviews and the established absence-reporting option.

Kindo

Haeata’s published online payment system for school-related payments.

Helix’s general product guide also describes payments and absence notifications, but Haeata’s existing published instructions designate Kindo and Skool Loop for these activities.

08 / Common questions

Helix questions, answered

Where do I sign in?

Use the official Helix Caregiver Portal link at the top of this page. The login page opens outside Haeata’s website.

I have forgotten my password. What should I do?

The caregiver guide instructs users to choose “Reset Helix password” at the Helix login. Follow the email instructions. If you do not receive the message, check your spam folder and ask Haeata to confirm the email recorded for your caregiver account.

Can I see more than one child?

The Helix guide says multiple linked children may appear on the caregiver dashboard. Ask Haeata if an eligible child is missing.

Can I view attendance and assessment information?

The official guide describes attendance and assessment features, but what appears depends on Haeata’s configuration and the information available for your child.

How do I report an absence?

Haeata’s existing website identifies Skool Loop for absence reporting. Check with the school before using the optional Helix absence feature.

Can I pay through Helix?

Haeata currently identifies Kindo as its school payment platform. Please follow Haeata’s payment instructions.

What if my account or information is wrong?

Contact Haeata’s office so staff can help with access or direct you to the appropriate team. Never email your password.

09 / Support
