The Parent Portal will be replacing the district's Parent Internet Viewer, and will allow parents to better monitor their child's progress in school by providing Internet access to grades, attendance, discipline, academic history, graduation verification, and standardized test results in a secure password-protected environment. For the protection of your child’s confidential information, we have created the attached secure procedures for establishing a Parent Portal account. If you have children in more than one school, you can register all your children at the same time. If you wish to create a Parent Portal Account, you have three options to choose from: 1. If you do not know your child’s Osceola Student ID number, you cannot register from home and you will need to visit your child’s school and bring with you a valid Florida Driver’s License or a government-issued photo ID. 2. If your child’s social security number is on file with the school district and you know your child’s Osceola Student ID number, you can register from home. By using a valid email address, you can create and activate your account using the attached directions. 3. If you know your child’s Osceola Student ID number but your child’s SSN is not on file with the district or you are not willing to provide the last four digits of your child’s Social Security Number, you can create an account from home using the attached directions but will need to visit the school to activate your account. Here is our school’s schedule for Parent Portal registration: Monday-Friday 7:00am-2:00pm in the Guidance office September 8th – SAC Meeting 5:30pm Sincerely, Pete Hodges Principal Student Achievement – Our Number One Priority Districtwide Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools An Equal Opportunity Agency THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OF OSCEOLA COUNTY, FLORIDA 817 Bill Beck Boulevard Kissimmee Florida 34744-4492 Phone: 407-870-4600 Fax: 407-870-4010 www.osceola.k12.fl.us SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS Superintendent of Schools Melba Luciano District 1 – Jay Wheeler 407-973-4141 District 2 – Kelvin Soto – Vice Chair 407-361-2462 District 3 – Tim Weisheyer - Chair 407-361-0235 District 4 – Barbara Horn 407-462-5642 District 5 – Tom Long 407-462-5782 Student Achievement – Our Number One Priority Districtwide Accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools An Equal Opportunity Agency
