The Student Summary Screen: Student Schedules, Bus Information, Athletic Clearance and More!
Start of School Tasks
There are alerts sent out for a variety of Genesis features, including forms and documents, when they are posted to the parent portal. Parents have the ability to disable or enable these alerts.
To check (and update) your settings, go to the parent portal, click on the "Settings" found in the menu on the left. Then, select "Alerts" and then select the alerts you would like to receive for each child by email or text.
Complete Forms:
In the Parent portal, please go to the “Forms” tab, and complete all forms listed for each child. Please read through each form, answer any questions and electronically sign where indicated. Once completed, you must finalize each form. To finalize the form, click on "Update Answers", check the "Finalize" box and then click on "Update Answers" again. You will know that a form has been submitted when you see a green check and a submitted date noted. Once a form is finalized, you can no longer edit the information in it. You will need to contact the main office of your child's school to make any changes to a finalized form. The forms must be completed in order to access your child’s schedule.
