Survey Results
| |
In our Aug. 9 Nside survey on Parent Portal, 84 percent of those who responded indicated they had accounts and 76 percent said they check it often. Yet not every Nside reader responded to the survey and NPS strives for 100 percent participation in Parent Portal. If you haven't yet created a Parent Portal account to monitor your child's grades, contact your school office today and/or click here to do so electronically.
