Parents Portal
In line with Glasgow's Digital Citizen policy and ambition to transform communications between schools and Parents/Carers, parentsportal.scot is now operational in all primary and secondary schools.
Parents Portal replaces the 'schoolbag run' and provides instant online access to a range of school related administration services for Parents/Carers.
Parents Portal will provide access to Parents/Carers on a 24 hour basis. Services include the options to:
- Update their address and contact details
- Review the Annual Data Check which contains personal details about their child
- Sign Permission Slips electronically
- Make online booking for Parents Evenings (Primary Schools only)
- View their child's attendance
- View the school calendar
- Report their child's Absence
- Free Bus Travel application (NEC - National Entitlement Card - for Primary Schools only)
- Access to key info e.g. Period Dignity
The above list is not exhaustive. More services will continue to be added in the future.
To use Parents Portal, Parents/Carer must have a MyGov account. They can then use the same login details to access Parents Portal.
Parents Portal is only available for Parents/Carers of Primary and Secondary school children.
