Parentsportal is an online system that enables and creates a digital relationship between parents, pupils and schools and replaces the traditional school bag run and paper processes with direct digital communications via a single sign on approach. The digital approach has been developed to improve the way in which schools engage with parents.
Parentsportal will provide parents and carers with access to a growing suite of online services. The parentsportal system enables parents to sign in using a single sign in approach (powered by the myaccount service) and undertake activities such as viewing information about their child’s education, pay for school meals and updating their own data.
Parentsportal was jointly developed by the Improvement Service (IS) and SEEMiS, the education information management provider. At the heart of the system is a secure online account which links each parent/carer to their child and education.
Parents Portal is the default method for providing parents with data capture forms. We are no longer allowed to put them in schoolbags. We ask that you consider joining Parents Portal to make this task run efficiently .
The Children’s Services Plan for 2023-26 sets out the strategic direction and objectives of Aberdeenshire Council, NHS Grampian, Police Scotland, the Aberdeenshire Community Planning Partnership, Grampian Fire Service, Aberdeenshire Health and Social Care Partnership, the Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration and third sector organisations represented by Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action (AVA) in meeting the needs of children and young people across the local area.
The plan also sets out priorities for all partner agencies to focus on and agreed actions to support all of these.
These priorities are underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), and the Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) approach adopted by the Scottish Government. Both of these require that children, young people and families must have their views taken into account when decisions are being made about them.
