Current Situation
With an understanding of parent engagement and your reasons for implementing a Parent Portal, you are ready to begin. The first thing you need to do is take stock of where you are today. Some of the information will help you in making decisions about which technology to use (are you large or small?). Some of the information will help you chart a path of other work that needs to be done (do you know the legislation that may come into play?).
What do you know about your district? What do you know about your school community? These sections guide you through the background you will need to collect as you get ready to deploy your Portal.
When you complete collecting information about your current situation, you will be ready to look at the technology in your schools and district in the Technology Today section where you will also examine your district’s approach to technology.
