If you have yet to enable the Parent Portal for your QuickSchools account, you’re missing out! This article describes some of the features offered via the QuickSchools Parent Portal:
Information at a Glance
From the Home page, parents can quickly see recent activity like recent attendance, grades, homework assignments and disciplinary incidents. Events are listed on the right, and the Parent Message Board is at the bottom of the screen. Parents can click on the various elements to view more information.
Stay Informed
Schools can opt to share details on the various modules being used, like Attendance, Gradebook, Report Cards and Discipline. Certain apps from the App Store can also be shared with parents like the Online Forms app, the Library app, the IEP app, the Lunch Ordering app and so on. Check out the App Store for more info.
Stay Up-To-Date
Schools can allow parents to update their contact information and communication preferences. The Messaging module in QuickSchools takes into account the parents preferences before sending out an email, text or voice message.
Private Messaging
Schools can share a School Directory to allow parents to communicate directly (and privately) with teachers, as well as with other parents.
View / Pay Fees
If you have the Online Payments module enabled, schools can allow parents to pay fees via the Parent Portal
