Communicating with Independent School Parents
Serco Learning understands the pressures faced by Independent Schools with regards to the constant communication required with parents. Keeping parents informed is paramount no matter where they might happen to be in the world and which time zone they are in. Plus, these day’s parents expect the instant access to information on their child that they have across their everyday lives at work, through online banking, and much more. With this in mind Serco Learning created the Progresso Parent Portal, just one of many exciting and innovative features of the Progresso MIS solution that benefit Independent Schools. During the process of creating the Progresso Parent Portal Serco Learning worked with Independent Schools across the UK and ensured that there was Independent School representation within the Progresso Pioneer Programme so that they could be included as the first to use the system and discover how the Parent Portal could work for their Independent School parents.
For Independent Schools the Progresso Parent Portal enables parents to have access to more information regarding their child’s education than ever before. The secure login means they can view live and up-to-the-minute information on their child from where ever they are in the world at anytime. This ensures that parents feel positively involved and knowledgeable about their child and will positively enhance their experience with the school. No longer will they have to wait for termly or end of year reports (although Progresso’s sophisticated reporting system can help with these too), as if they wish to they can login daily.
Parents will be able to view a variety of data from academic progress to latest assessment results, behaviour to extra –curricular activities, and much more. Progresso Parent Portal will give parents the opportunity to intervene if their child needs further support in a particular area or to reward their child when doing well.
The Progresso Parent Portal is just one of the many exciting Progresso Communication Tools, SMS and e-mail is also available through the solution.
