Step 1 - Create your Parent Connection account

You will need an active email address to use this service. We recommend that you create a unique password for this account and do not use a password that you are currently using for another account (email, online banking, work computer, etc.)

Step 2- Apply for access to your student's records
To apply for access to student records, you will need to have your student's ID number. Your student's ID number is also used as their computer login; asking your student for their login will help you obtain the student ID required for the application process. The student ID can also be found on the report card.

Step 3- Visit your student's school to have your application approved
Once you have activated your account and completed your application for access to your student's records, you will need to have your application approved by the school office. You may call the counselor to schedule a verification appointment. The verification process will take about five minutes. Please bring some type of pictured identification.

Dear Parent

The Suffolk Public Schools is offering a unique service to parents. Parent Connection will allow parents to view their student(s)’ grades and attendance on-line. Grades that appear in Parent Connection are drawn directly from our teachers’ gradebooks and will provide an electronic progress report available anytime. This service has been offered to middle school and high school parents for over a year now. It will be available in all elementary schools for the 2007-2008 school year.

Parents who wish to sign up for Parent Connection should follow the steps above.

You may call the counselor to schedule a verification appointment if you cannot visit the school on a scheduled Parent Connection Registration Day. The verification process will take about five minutes. Please bring some type of pictured identification.

After your account is approved you may view your student’s grades from any computer with internet access. Only one account per household is needed to access all of your student’s grades. Although Suffolk Public Schools will not make your username/password publicly available, we recommend that you create a unique password for this account and do not use a password that you are currently using for another account (email, online banking, work computer). The grades of your student posted on the website can be accessed only by someone who knows your username and password. You may cancel this service at any time by contacting the Guidance Counselor at any time.

Remember that the grades you see might not include all the assignments or tests that have been completed by your student. Please allow teachers five days to post grades after the due date of an assignment. If you have any question about any of the items, please contact the teacher.
