Re: Online Parent Database - PCR's parent portal

Our SIS (PCR Educator) has a parent portal which does much of what you
describe. Parents have unique logins, can update their contact information
including emergency contacts, doctors, alergies, etc. This does NOT
generate an email but there is a place in the database to 'approve' (or
disapprove) the changes. This generates a lot of work initially as parents
tweak and add to their data. The portal also has a searchable school-wide
directory where they can see 'public' information about other families
(names, street addresses, phone numbers).

I suspect this isn't unique to PCR and that many SIS packages offer a parent
portal with similar capabilities. Feel free to contact me off-list if you
need further details.

Subject: Online Parent Database - Does It Exist?

Hi,

I am looking for something that will do the following:

Online Database of Parent Information (address, phone number, email,
etc.) Parent's can log in with a username and password to update their
information An email notification is sent to me whenever information is
updated Optional: A login allows parents to see information of all other
parents, but can only update their own information.

Does anyone know anything that does this?

Thanks,

Renee Ramig
