About K12Excellence ParentView^TM

"Generally, when parents participate in their children's education, both at home and at school, and experience relationships with teachers characterized by mutuality, warmth, and respect, students achieve more, demonstrate increased achievement motivation, and exhibit higher levels of emotional, social, and behavioral adjustment"

K12Excellence ParentView^TM Features

Homepage

The homepage of K12Excellence ParentView™ can be customized by the parent to view information most important to them. Each child linked to the parent can have a separate customized homepage. The default homepage includes academic performance indicators and trending for each area, including views of assignments, grades, standardized testing, attendance and overall current performance.

Alerts

Alerts are a valuable tool in monitoring the child's day to day academic behaviors. Attendance and grade alerts can be customized for each child. Alerts can be sent via email, texted to a phone, or both. Alerts for grades can be based on individual class assignment grades or report card grades. Parents can create alerts for a lower threshold (e.g. grade <= 70) to monitor poor performance. Alerts can also be set for upper thresholds (e.g. grade >= 90) to reward excellence performance.

Assignments

Course assignment information provides a view into progress on daily assignments and classwork. The assignments are shown with the total possible points, points earned, and the due date for each assignment. Current and missing assignments are highlighted, and any assignment with a grade of zero is clearly displayed. In addition, you can view the assignment categories and weightings toward the grades, along with the class average for each category (e.g. classwork, homework, projects, tests, etc).

On-Track/Graduation

For High School students, the application displays the graduation plan selected by the student, the number of credits earned, the number of credits currently enrolled, and the number of credits remaining to be earned. The credit summary is also shown by course category (e.g. English, Math, Science, Foreign Language, etc). It includes standardized test scores required for graduation and all college readiness test scores. Additional information about transcript submissions, college applications, financial aid applications, and other post-secondary education planning information are included in this view.

Grades

The standardized test reports includes trending where historical tests are available for the child. K12Excellence ParentView™ identifies when a child has not taken a standardized test based on your standardized testing schedule and displays the percentage of their peers that have taken the test.
