Strengthening the home-school connection with ParentVUE

When families are connected to their child’s education, students do better in school, feel more supported, and are more likely to reach their full potential. That’s why we’ve invested in a tool that makes it easier than ever for to stay connected, informed, and engaged in their child’s learning journey: ParentVUE.

ParentVUE is our secure, online parent portal that gives families and students access to real-time information about school, all in one place.

Through ParentVUE, families can:

  • View real-time grades and assignments
  • Monitor attendance and class schedules
  • Access school documents
  • Communicate with teachers
  • Report a student absence

It’s available 24/7 on any web browser and also as a mobile app for both Apple and Android devices, so you can stay connected on the go. No more toggling between multiple websites or apps. ParentVUE streamlines communication between home and school and gives you the information you need to support your student, right at your fingertips.

We know families are busy. Between work, appointments, and daily life, it’s not always easy to find time to reach out or check in. ParentVUE puts vital information at your fingertips, so you can follow your child’s progress on your own schedule

When families can track grades, notice attendance patterns, and connect with teachers in real-time, it helps students feel supported both at home and in the classroom. It also makes early intervention easier, allowing you to celebrate growth or address challenges before they escalate.

With ParentVUE, you don’t have to wait for report cards or family-teacher conferences to know how your child is doing. This level of transparency fosters stronger relationships between families and educators and reinforces the message we want every student to hear we’re all in this together.

If you already have a ParentVUE account, we encourage you to log in regularly and explore its features. If you haven’t yet activated your account, or if you’re unsure how to access it, please contact the main office of your child’s school. Our staff is happy to assist you and ensure you have the tools you need.
