Receiving notifications
Parents should make sure the school has good contact information (email, home and mobile phone numbers) to ensure they receive timely and pertinent school information. This includes information about school closures and delays.
Information about events, etc. is posted on PTECH’s Facebook page as well.
Parents and students must contact the main office of their home school district if they wish to receive timely information from that district. Parents and students should also maintain communication with their home schools by regularly checking the school’s webpage or by following Facebook pages of important groups they want to be connected to.
SchoolTool
SchoolTool Parent Portal is available to parents and students to access attendance records, progress reports and report cards. Parents are linked to SchoolTool each year via a working parent email. Parents receive a password to access the parent portal in their email. Please email school counselor Jennifer Sponnoble at jsponnoble@hfmboces.org to gain access.
SchoolTool can be accessed here.
