Parent’s Portal<\/span><\/h4>\n
Further to our previous communication regarding the launch of Parents Portal, please find attached a letter from NAC.<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is the ‘Go Live’ date Today, 02.03.26, which means that you will be able to register your child on the Portal as long as you have a MyGovScot account.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you do not have a MyGovScot account, please click on the link below to set one up. Then you will be able to register with the Portal.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
https:\/\/parentsportal.scot\/home\/<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Please note that this transition from traditional hard copy communications will be a gradual one. We urge Parents\/Carers to sign up as quickly as they can so that we can ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.<\/div>\n
We will continue to communicate through the usual platforms until we are ready to start transitioning.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We will keep you all up to date throughout the process and appreciate your support.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kind regards,<\/div>\n
