Quincy Public Schools Student Portal
The Student Portal is an online tool that allows you to monitor your
child's progress in school. It provides you instant access to your child's
grades and other information anytime and anywhere you have Internet
access. For the 2013-2014 school year, the Student Portal is available
to parents/guardians of all middle and high school students. (parents
please note that full implementation of the academic portion of the student
portal is not mandatory for teachers at this time)
As a parent/guardian, you can:
•View the most current information about your student's academic
performance such as grades and quarterly averages.
•View student schedules.
•Access daily attendance.
•Review family information, such as emergency contacts.
• View the Calendar
The system was developed and tested with great care to ensure that
student information is kept confidential and that only you, and
authorized school personnel, can view your child's information.

In the near future, you will be able to:
•Review your contact information and submit changes online.
