ONLINE GRADING ACCESS AND ACADEMIC PROGRESS
Parents will have online access to their student’s daily attendance, grade book information, progress reports, and student schedule. Paper copies will only be mailed to parents that do not have an e-mail address on file. Report cards are available online at the end of each quarter. Only semester grades are part of the permanent record. Parents may also contact individual teachers regarding your students’ academic progress.
Each family has an account to access this data on their students. Click here for the PLCS Parent Portal. Once you navigate to this webpage, you will log in with your user name and password. First time users will be receiving user name and password information by mail before the end of first quarter. You will then select the name of the student from the list presented and begin to navigate the data as you see fit.
If you have trouble accessing the site you can call the Technology Center at the district office at helpdesk@plcschools.org or call 402-537-6299. In addition, in the event you misplace your user name and password, you may request this information to be sent via the mail from the Technology Center as well. Passwords will NOT be given out over the phone.
