Session participants will learn how more than 200 school districts in New Jersey are using the parent portal of their Student Information System. Parents can manage student’s schedules, grades, attendance, assignments, discipline, contacts and fees. Districts post letters and messages specific to the student from teachers and administrators, as well as place districtwide notices online for parents to see and acknowledge. Many districts are now going paperless and realizing significant savings in postage costs, while parents benefit from instant notification from their child’s school.
