Parents of Albemarle County middle and high school students can now access their child's information online. A system called the "Parent Portal" is officially up and running after undergoing a one-year pilot program.
The Parent Portal was established earlier this year to improve the way parents receive information, on their child's attendance, schedule, and grades.
Billy Haun, assistant superintendent for Albemarle County Public Schools, explained, "The thing that's really good about it is that you don't have to log in all the time. You can just set it up so that it will send you a notification. If you're my parent and Phil's my teacher, you can get an e-mail notification saying Billy's grade has changed."
Parents who haven't already set up an account can do so at their child's school.
