Parent Survey - CCSD 2010

The Districtwide PARENT Survey 2010 will kick off online March 1st and remain available through April 16th. As in the past, we are asking that each family take the survey from your home, work, or library computer. If they do not have access to a computer, please come in and use the computer that we have set up in our front office.

The link to the survey will be available here at "Parent Survey 2010" or through the Clark County School District website at www.ccsd.net/parentsurvey. We are hoping for a large parent turnout and will appreciate your participation in the survey.

Thank you in advance for your help with the very important District survey.

ParentLink Accounts

Getting An Account: ParentLink is a web based parent communication tool that provides families with current grades, attendance, and cafeteria balances. ParentLink has a messaging system that will automatically dial home phone numbers to provided attendance information and messages for the school. The messages that are sent, are also available to the parent for rereading. Should our Schofield MS Parent/Guardian need to be reminded of their login and password, or request a login and password for the first time, Schofield MS Parents/Guardians may email a request to "277ParentLink@interact.ccsd.net".

Please include in the e-mail message your full name, your student's full name, your student's Student ID, and a home phone number. If you do not have an e-mail account, click here, ParentLink-Request User Code(s) , for a printable form, that can be sent with your student to our counseling office, to request the parent/guardian codes. ParentLink requests are typically handled within 48 hours of the receipt of the e-mail or the form.

The Inbox Messaging: ParentLink provides messaging from the District and the local attended school(s). When the parent activates the account and logs into the system, the opening page of the account provides several "Tab" designed links. The first tab is the user's Home page tab. In the middle of the page the section "Messages" has two active links - "Inbox" and "Outbox". Next to the word "Inbox" is a number. This number represents the unopened messages that you have received since the last time you looked at the account. Clicking on this link will take you to all of the messages that are available for you to read. As you read the messages, your number will decrease, but the message will not be removed unless you check it and click the "REMOVE" button at the bottom of the page. Please note: Currently the "Outbox" feature is NOT available to system users.

Summer (Yearly) Preparation: As we move into summer, we want to make sure that you will have full access to ParentLink on your summer's schedule.

First, take a moment to write your parent user name and password down in a safe place. Being that you will probably not use your accounts during the summer, you will have your codes ready for the new year.

Second, setting up your email address in ParentLink enables you to reset your password if it is ever lost or forgotten, receive email messages from your school, and subscribe to other important ParentLink communications. To do this, simply log in to ParentLink, click on the “My Account” tab, and click the “ADD” button at the “Email Addresses” section. Once you have entered the email address on the “Add Email Address” page, click the “SAVE” button. Don't delay, set up your email address today!

Third, if you have issues with adding your email address, send an email to our parentlink email address: "277ParentLink@interact.ccsd.net" include in the message your account code that you are using. This will help us determine what information you will need.
