School District 72 has launched a new parent portal website and mobile app as an additional way to communicate with Campbell River families and help them stay on top of all the information they need about their child’s school.
Communications Manager Jennifer Patrick and District Educational Technology Coordinator Shannon Hagen briefed the school board on the new portal and app this week, which were rolled out district-wide in the middle of November.
The new parent portal is available online, and through apps, and pulls news, events, and emergency notifications posted on the school district and schools’ websites.
It also shares student specific information such as emergency contact information on file at the school, their child’s absences, and final report card grades. It may also include assignment and class information if the teacher chooses.
Parents can also get real-time emergency notifications, like bus notices and school closures, directly on their cell phone.
The district will be reaching out to parents in February to seek feedback on the app, as well as more information about how they like to receive information to further inform how the district and schools communicate with families.
