Parents' Portal
About Parentsportal.scot
East Lothian Council is introducing Parentsportal.scot for P1 to S6 pupils. This is a new digital service to help replace the traditional school bag run, by providing direct communication to parents through a growing set of online services, using one single login. Your school will start using this service soon and will let parents know when it is available.
The portal has been developed to help provide parents with a clear insight into their child's education and to support transactional communications between them and the school.
Using Parentsportal.scot
Registration for a Parent's Portal customer account uses the MyGovScot myaccount service. This is a secure and trusted service provided by the Scottish Government. Most parents have already registered with myaccount to use the SchoolPay online payment system and you can use the same login details for the Parent's Portal.
register for myaccount through MyGovScot - if you don't already have a myaccount login
sign in to Parent's Portal using your myaccount login details
watch the introductory video to get the next steps to link to your children in the Parent's Portal and to start using the features:
