Posted on April 21, 2008 Are the students going to be able to view there grades online like parent portal?
Yes. Next year, the district will be opening a student portal providing students with access to the student information system.
Posted on March 18, 2008 How can I find out my child’s grade on the NYS ELA and math assessment tests before the fall?
Once the grading of the exams is complete, the state sends the scores to each school district, which in turn, mails them home to parents. The scoring of the 3-8 ELA assessments for the 2007-2008 school year is nearly complete and scores should go home prior to the end of this school year. We also load them into our student information system and make them available on the Parent Portal.
Posted on March 18, 2008 Is the parent portal available yet for grades K-5? Will I be able to find out how my child scored on the NYS Math Assessment?
The Parent Portal is K - 12 and has been available to all of the district’s parents since October 2007. One of the items a parent can see is "Assessments". This contains all scores from the NYS Testing Program grades 3 - 8 and NYS Regents exams. The 3 through 8 testing scores are uploaded to our system after we receive them from the state. The Regents scores are uploaded after the conclusion of each Regents testing period (January, June & August).
Posted on March 14, 2008 Who do I contact if my child's information on the Parent Portal is wrong?
Call the main office at your child's school.
Posted on February 14, 2008 Why can only parents apply for the parent portal? Why can't high school students show responsibility and independence and ask for this service themselves?
That is the next step. The first step was to provide access to staff, then parents and, coming this spring, the district will begin providing access to secondary students.
Posted on February 5, 2008 The Shen Parent Portal is great! I wonder, however, why teachers aren't required to use it?
The administrators, teachers and technical staff are all excited about the tremendous possibilities the new parent portal presents. Since it was instituted this summer, training on how to use the portal has been ongoing. The first big milestone was to ensure that the faculty was trained to enter first quarter grades so that report cards could be generated by the system. As a district, we have dedicated a tremendous amount of resources to provide training and technical support of this new system. Because of this, we have seen an increase in the number of teachers using the gradebook feature. But we are also cognizant of the fact that it is a new process and it will take some time to fully implement. When it comes to new technology, some people are more proficient and comfortable with it than others. We feel that we need to balance our exuberance for what the new system is able to do with the need to provide staff with the time necessary for them to fully learn and embrace it. Like the use of other technological advancements, we anticipate that the use of the Portal by both teachers and parents will become second nature in the coming year or so.
