Do parents have access of their childs school record

darush1963
Does your child's school have a way for the parent(s) to gain acess to their child's academic record prior to getting a note or call from their teacher about a potential problem. My children's school has a program installed called Zangleweb Parent Connect and the schools issue a pin and password where I can go online and view their grades before progress reports and report cards are issued. This tool has been very helpful in pinpointing areas of improvement and it is also helpful because I can view upcoming homework assignments that are due and be better involved in helping my child achieve.

Children are minors and adults are their legal guardians. The legal guardians have a legal right to access all school records about their child with the restirction that any information about another child can - and should - be removed or stricken out.

Legal guardians of children do not need a special computer program, PIN, or anything to review their child's school file. A request for this should be made to the principal and should be quickly honored. If not - be weary of the principal and/or school district. Then demand your legal right - and fight for it if needed.

Exactly that's what we call it too Parent Connect.
I think this is an awesome tool. And the best thing for me about it I have three children (1 in elementary, 1 in middle, and 1 in high school) so by utilizing this parent connect system I can keep tabs on my childrens progress at any time. And another great feature is all the teachers are on e-chalk system so records are always updated that is so far I've had no issues.

I think most schools have a similiar plan for this. It can be very useful, however, if the site isn't updated as it should be, it is useless. Here, WEEKS will go by before grades are entered, by then, if there is a problem, it is almost too late to do anything, and depending on when the quarter ends, it sometimes is too late to change things.
