A Note from the Office-Parent Portal
As a parent, you may ask, “why do I need to sign into Parent Portal?”
There several reasons:
- Confirm all student info is correct. Upon enrollment, the student information is transcribed from handwritten forms. Sometimes numerals and letters look like something other than what they actually are. We invite you to check our work.
- Update and make changes to Parent phone numbers and email addresses or phone numbers for Emergency contacts. When you, the Parent make a change or update to Parent Portal, we in the office receive a notification to print a new hard copy for our Emergency files.
- A current Shot Record is available for you to print.
- The most current Attendance Records are there for you to view. We ask that you check that absences have been recorded in a timely manner. Perhaps the Attendance Clerk has not received the note.
- For students in 3rd to 12th grade the parent may view their child’s grades and progress.
- View your child’s schedule.
- Set up a notification to receive daily reports.
