Walk-Thru Registration
Dear Hart families,
Welcome to Hart Middle School for the 2018-2019 school year! Online Registration for all new and returning students is comprised of 3 steps.
2018-2019 Online Registration Information at Hart Middle School
Online registration for 2018-2019 school year will open on August 1, 2018. Mailers will be mailed to returning student families with registration instructions in mid July. Families new to PUSD will receive a mailer with PIN/password to access the Q Parent Portal. Online registration is a three-step process.
STEP 1: Future Fund Registration
Visit the Hart Future Fund website at: https://hart.futurefund.com.
At the HART FUTURE FUND website, you are able to review information about Hart Middle School, customize how your information will appear in the school directory, donate to the non-profit organizations that help support our school, sign up to volunteer for school and parent club activities, find out about Hart’s sport program, make school purchases and classroom donations.
This online system only accepts credit cards and Visa/MC debit cards payments. If you would rather pay by cash or check for any purchases or donations, don’t make those selections in Future Fund, you can do that at Walk through registration, but bring several checks with you as some items must be paid for separately.

You would use your PIN and password information that you have used to log onto “Q” Parent Connection portal. Once you have logged on, start the registration process by clicking on the blue “Registration/Emergency Info” link. In “Q” there is also a 3 minute video that you can watch that explains the process; Click on this VIDEO LINK You will be able to review and update each child’s emergency information on “Q “.
At this site you will be able to:
- View and edit your child’s information
- Update your phones numbers and email addressees
- Add at least one emergency contact, in case you are not available (local contacts preferred)
- Update your child’s medical information
- Update your child’s information throughout the year

The complete list of forms and notices that will be provided in Q can also be found on the district webpage.
After completing the Q online registration, parents will receive a confirmation email that they will need to print and bring to Walk-thru registration.
NOTE: If you have lost your “Q” PARENT CONNECTION pin and password, you can email qhelp@pleasantonusd.net to get your password reset. Please allow up to 7 - 10 days to receive your password.
