Parentsportal.scot is a new digital service to help replace the traditional school bag run by providing direct communication to parents through a growing suite of online services.

What is parentsportal.scot?

In support of Fife Council’s ambition to continue improvement in parental engagement we have been working with national partners to develop a “Parents Portal”.

The portal will be developed to provide parents with a clear insight to their child’s education and to support transactional communications between parents and the school.

Registration for a Parents Portal customer account uses the MtGovScot (My Account) Service. This is a secure and trusted service provided by the Scottish Government. Parents using Pay/IPayimpact will already have a My Account username and password.

This new service will introduce information about the school and will allow you to:

• link to you child
• view school calendar
• view your child’s attendance
• complete the annual data check process electronically
• update your own as well as your child’s details at any time
• access Parent Zone and Fife.gov.uk
• access your child’s parents evenings
• report your child’s absence from school
• view your child’s report card (where available)
• view and authorise child’s permission slips for trips, clubs etc
• view and access school social media sites and websites

This is an exciting first phase of a new initiative which enables and creates a digital relationship between parents, pupils and schools.
