PARENT INTERNET VIEWER

PIV provides parents an opportunity to check their student’s records throughout the academic year. We only ask that parents understand the reality that teachers do not input grades every day. Because of the standards based report card in the primary building the information on line is limited. Also, this information does not replace the official report card or transcript needs at the high school.

If you’d like to have access to Parent Internet Viewer please download the form below and return it to the office of the building where your child attends. Remember that a pin code is needed for each child.

As in all educational facilities, all individuals accessing and using the internet should follow the local policy. The Acceptable Use Policy regulating the use of the internet by individuals must be accepted to gain a pin code. Please review it on the Crestwood District website.
