Oakwood Community Unit School District #76 is implementing a Parent Portal as a means to further promote educational
excellence and to enhance communication with parents. The Portal al ows parents to view their own child’s school records
anywhere, any time. Every parent is expected to act in a responsible, ethical and legal manner when accessing the
Oakwood School District Parent Portal. The portal is available to every parent or legal guardian of a student enrolled in
the Oakwood School District. The following guidelines are in place to insure the safety and privacy of each student.
1. Username and passwords are to be kept confidential.
2. Only one username and password will be issued per parent/guardian and will be valid for all their children enrolled in
3. All concerns about the system should be addressed to the District Technology Coordinator via email at
(Note: The school district does not provide support for your home or work computer
system.)
4. Student records provided may include attendance records, student schedules, food service records, discipline
records, grades, homework, activities, events, contact/demographic information, health records and account/fee information. 5. Even though you will be able to check grades at any time of day, there may be times when the system is down due
to planned maintenance or an unplanned outage. Please check the system again within 24 hours. If you still do not have access please contact the technology coordinator (above). 6. Grade concerns should be addressed with the specific teacher via phone or e-mail.
7. Calculated course percentages and grades may seem low or high at the beginning of a quarter; grade averages in
the early part of a term can fluctuate greatly when even a minor assignment is graded. As more assignments are scored, the calculated grades will normally be closer to the final grade. Several missing assignments, quarter projects or test grades may significantly affect the quarter grade. 8. Different classes may use different factoring methods to weight assignment scores; the current percentage and
grade, therefore, may not be equivalent to the average of all scores reported. 9. If errors are suspected in any assignment scores, please contact your child’s teacher via phone or e-mail.
10. Attendance concerns should be addressed to the office of the school your child attends.
11. If you forget your username and/or password, use the “Forgotten Password” link on the Portal home page.
12. No usernames or passwords will be given out over the phone or via e-mail.

2. Parents are not to attempt to harm or destroy data of their own children, of another user, school or district network, or

violating laws may be subject to civil and/or criminal prosecution. 4. Parents are not to access data or any account owned by another parent.
5. Parents who identify a security problem with the Parent Portal must notify their school immediately, without
demonstrating the problem to anyone else. 6. Parents who are deemed as a security risk to the Parent Portal or any other Oakwood CUSD #76 computers or
networks, will be denied access to the Parent Portal. 7. I hereby release the Oakwood School District and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims and damages
arising from my use or inability to use the system when accessing my child’s grades and attendance. 8. Step-parents, who are not the legal guardians, will not be able to access their step children's information from their
