In support of Perth and Kinross Council’s ambition to transform communications between parents/carers, Perth and Kinross Council (PKC) have been working with national partners to develop a “Parents Portal”.
This portal is designed to replace the ‘schoolbag run’, giving parents online access to a range of school-related services. At the heart of the system is a secure online MyPKC account through mygov.scot. This is already used in PKC to enable parents to apply for services such as Free School Meals and School Transport.
Initially, this new service will introduce basic information about your child’s school and will allow you to:
- 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 MyPKC
- access online school payments (ParentPay)
As the product develops, PKC look forward to seeing more services introduced including electronic permission slips and consent forms.
This is an exciting first phase of a new initiative which enables and creates a digital relationship between parents, pupils and schools. For further information on parentsportal.scot, please click on the link: parentsportal.scot
