What is the Nest?

The NEST (formerly Blackbaud) is Maui Prep's secure Student Information System (SIS) portal. For your student's safety and security, we keep a lot of important information on the private side, accessible only to parents and guardians of Maui Prep students.

You can find the login for The NEST in the upper right corner of mauiprep.org. If you've never logged in with your parent account before, please email Avamerrill@mauiprep.org with your name and preferred email address, and she will send you an invitation.

Once you're logged into The NEST, click on the RESOURCES tab for quick links to:

Uniforms
Textbooks
Tuition Management Account
School lunch ordering and payment
Aftercare scheduling and payment

For parents of 6th-grade students and older, The NEST also allows you to view your child's class schedules, lesson plans, and grades.
