PARENT PORTAL

The goal of the Parent Portal initiative is to improve the existing Student Information System (SIS) Gateway by
providing a centralized location for parents and guardians to access various applications that support their
child’s education, empowering them to engage in their child’s academic experience.
To ensure easy access, families will use their existing SIS login credentials or create a new account to access
the Parent Portal on the improved SIS. Based on the work completed in FY25, the home screen will showcase
a section of application icons, similar to the Student or District Portal, allowing connection via Single Sign-On
(SSO) and direct links to various programs and websites.

DISTRICT AND SCHOOL WEBSITES

The District successfully transitioned its digital web services to Finalsite, a communications platform that inte-
grates the employee intranet (The Hub), the District website, and a mobile app, facilitating more consistent
communication with the community.

To enhance accessibility and maintain up-to-date information, the District website received the following
essential updates in FY25:

• The restored public phone directory provides convenient access to contact information of District staff
and departments.
• The expanded family resources section includes a comprehensive A-Z list of services for students and
parents.
• District calendars were integrated to improve planning and coordination for stakeholders.
• With multi-platform access, users can obtain information through the District website and mobile app,
providing greater flexibility.
• Uniform ADA compliance standards were established to ensure all District and school sites adhere to
federal ADA web standards while maintaining District-specific branding and formatting.

School Website Standardization
In response to feedback from students, parents, school leaders, and School Board members, the B.2a initiative
workgroup developed a standardized webpage template for all schools. This initiative ensures a consistent user
experience and provides families easy access to important information they may seek across school websites.

FY25 accomplishments include:

• One hundred percent of District school websites were updated to align with the new District brand
standards, while allowing schools to include optional content such as clubs and activities, dress code,
daily class schedules, Choice programs, after-school programs, athletics, and supply lists.
• Eligible elementary school homepages feature direct access to the District’s VPK Program information
page.
• Consistent navigation throughout all school websites improves the user experience.
