Parent Portal

We’ve learned that parents will soon have access to their child’s grades online. (I remember seeing SchoolMAX vendors at MICCA and feeling good about already being familiar with it, rather than behind when there were so many other tools/programs I know nothing about). While I can see some drawbacks to this, I think is it mostly a positive change. I hope it will encourage most parents to be more involved and aware of their child’s work and take out the mystery that some can feel when they receive progress reports or report cards. It’s another way of communicating with families and helpful in keeping students accountable for their assignments.
