What is
ParentCONNECT ?
ParentCONNECTxp is designed to
link parents and schools together
via the Internet. It enables
parents to access their
children's school records
including such information as
assignments, school announcements
and current progress. E-mail
capability is also provided for
improved communication between
parents and the school.
As a parent of a current
Mifflin County School District
student (grades 6-12 only),
you have the opportunity to use a
product that will allow you to
view your child’s school
information via the web. This
product is ParentCONNECT.
It will allow you to access
pertinent information about your
child’s attendance, report card
grades, building information, and
more from any Internet-capable
computer. To use
ParentCONNECT, you will need
Internet access, an e-mail
address, and a browser such as
Internet Explorer, Netscape
Navigator, or the software
provided by your Internet Service
Provider (ISP).
Do Parents
have to register every year?
Parents/Guardians who have
already registered with
ParentCONNECT do not have to
re-register. Accounts will
remain for the upcoming school
year, if your child (grades
6-12 only) is enrolled in the
Mifflin County School District.
However, if your child is
promoting into the sixth grade
you must complete a registration
form. Place a checkmark in the
box next to “Please add
another student to my existing
ParentCONNECT account”.
Complete this form in its
entirety and return it in-person
to the Principal’s office where
your child will attend. Be sure
to take your identification and a
copy of your child's birth
certificate.
How do
Parents get a ParentCONNECT account?
At the beginning of every school
year, the Parent/Guardian of
students in grades 6-12 will have
the opportunity to register for a
ParentCONNECT account at
“Back
To School Night” or at the
office of the school your child
is enrolled.
To protect the privacy of student
information, you will be required
to provide proof of parental
rights or guardianship upon
registration. Be sure to take
your identification and a copy of
your child's birth certificate.
Your account information will be
sent to the email address listed
on the registration form or to
the mailing address whichever is
preferred by the requesting
parent.
