Parent Connectxp NCS Pearson product
Why implement Parent Connectxp? • In an effort to better serve the parents of Richland One, the school district has purchased and is implementing Parent Connectxp. • ParentConnectxp is a convenient home-to-school collaboration tool that allows parent/guardians to keep track of their children's school information and get more involved with their child's day to day education.
Why photo identification and site visit? • Without a personal visit with photo id, any third party could call the school and claim to be a parent and ask for a User ID and password and gain access to a child’s personal data. • No passwords will be given out over the phone. This procedure is in place to protect the release of student data and is the same for requesting student records.
IGPro Notes • Student • Task • Score • Class (Setup, Classes, Notes TAB) • Spreadsheet (Setup, Spreadsheet, Notes TAB)
School Responsibilities • Have Database Specialist keep SASI data up-to-date with latest student changes (i.e., enrollments, transfers, withdrawals, etc.). • Have the Parent Connect contact visit the Parent Connect website periodically and use the school administrative account to randomly check if student's updated information is in place (i.e., grades and attendance). • Have school administration determine the deadline schedule for teachers to have gradebooks updated and communicate this to parents to clarify expectations.
Teacher Responsibilities • DO NOT create additional gradebooks as Parent Connect will not post anything for a teacher that has more than one gradebook. • Entering major assignments and tests prior to due date for parent communication • Entering correct due dates for all assignments and keeping their IGPro gradebooks up-to-date with current grades • Maintaining the "Current Grade Spreadsheet" defined for the current 9-week term • Entering notes/comments for assignments (you can put a web address for your SharpSchool page for downloads) • Checking for updates in class rosters (student lists) in their IGPro gradebooks • Notifying the Database Specialist of any changes that do not reflect in their gradebooks.
Process (parent from home) • School notifies parent that on-line access is available and requests parent to register on-line (Via letter to home or School Messenger phone notification. Be sure to include the date of the parent night indicated in step 4 in your letter or message.) • Information Technology creates login. • School parent contact runs report that contains parent logins and passwords. • School conducts parent night to distribute logins and passwords.
Process (parent at school) • School notifies parent while on-site the on-line access is available. • Parent completes form at site and school verifies access authority and photo id. Parent indicates on form how school can notify them with their login and password. • School requests parent to register on-line in addition to completing the form. • Information Technology creates login. • School parent contact runs report that contains parent logins and passwords. • School parent contact reviews form and notifies parents of login and password
