Hicksville Public Schools Introduces Parent Connect
Hicksville Public Schools announces the implementation of Parent Connect, a secure web-based, online school-to-home communication system to aid district parents in accessing current information about their child's academic progress and attendance. Registered parents of Hicksville Middle and High School students can view their child's grade and attendance records from any computer with internet access through the district's website and Parent Connect. A parent will only be permitted access to view their own children's information. Parent Connect student information will be updated on a weekly basis.
Pre-Registration through the district's website: www.hicksvillepublicschools.org is required as the first step in utilizing this new school-to-home communication tool. Although the K-5 portion of Parent Connect will not be operational until early 2008, when parents pre-register they will be able to register all of their children, K-12. After Pre-Registration is complete, parents will receive notification from the district when they may complete the in-person registration. To guarantee security, in-person registration requires photo identification with one of the following: original New York State driver's license, original New York State photo identification from the DMV, or an original passport. If previously listed forms are not available, an original photo Employment Identification with parent's original birth certificate must accompany the registrant.
Hicksville Public Library's new Computer and Resource Center is available to parents who do not have access to technology and would like to view their child's records through Parent Connect. The Computer Center, located at 101 Jerusalem Avenue, and is open Monday - Thursday (1 pm - 9 pm), Friday (1 pm - 5 pm), and Saturday (9 am - 5 pm). The Computer Center staff has been trained by the district to assist parents in the use of Parent Connect.
