| Parent Portal | http://cci.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/102 | Parent Portal | <p></p><span><p style="font:13px/1.6 arial,sans-serif;margin:0px 0px 10px;color:#595959;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;">The
SCDSB Parent Portal is a secure online tool that provides
parents/guardians (of students less than 18 years of age) with quick
access to their children's attendance and, in secondary school, grades.
Parents and guardians can set up daily, weekly or monthly email alerts
for attendance information.</p><p style="font:13px/1.6 arial,sans-serif;margin:0px 0px 10px;color:#595959;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;">To
access the Parent Portal, parents/guardians will need their child's
Student Number, which can be found on the Student Information
Verification Form sent home at the start of every school year, as well
as an Access ID.</p><p style="font:13px/1.6 arial,sans-serif;margin:0px 0px 10px;color:#595959;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;">The
Access ID will be/has been provided in a sealed letter. If you lose the
Access ID, you can visit us in the school office and we'll provide it
to you after verifying your identity.</p><p style="font:13px/1.6 arial,sans-serif;margin:0px 0px 10px;color:#595959;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;">Each
student has a unique Access ID and Student Number. Once a
Parent/Guardian has created a Parent Portal account, all students can be
linked to that single account.</p><p style="font:13px/1.6 arial,sans-serif;margin:0px 0px 10px;color:#595959;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:#ffffff;">Go to <a target="_blank" href="http://ps.scdsb.on.ca/" style="color:#0072b9;text-decoration:none;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">http://ps.scdsb.on.ca</span></a> to create a Parent Portal account or login.</p></span> | | | |
