SIS Student 360 Parent/Student Portal & School Messenger
Parent Portal allows parent access to student information from the student database. Parent Portal is based on email information, so it is important that we have a current email address to activate the program. Only one form per household is needed. If you have previously signed up for Parent Portal and if your contact information has not changed since the last school year, this form does not need to be completed. School Messenger is an automated calling system that notifies parents regarding school closings and other important information. Once again, we must be sure that we have correct, current contacts in order to reach you.
