We don’t have our own kids yet (except for our furry kids), but if we did, I would be really interested in this program. With the rise of the internet, there’s no reason that parents shouldn’t have access to their child’s grades and attendance info.
Since I’m not a parent, I can’t get into the system to play around with it, but if I understand it correctly, parents should be able to view their child’s attendance and day-to-day grades, including homework and tests so that you’re not shocked at the end of the semester.
To me, there should be bells and whistles promoting the ParentConnection as a revolution in the potential fo parental involvement, but it’s inconspiculously tucked away as just another part of the school’s website.
In order to sign up, you’ll have to fill in a form and bring it in to the Independence Counseling Center. Then, you’ll be able to go online with you password and access the system. Everything you need is located at: http://www.wcs.edu/ihs/parentconnect.html
