SchoolTool Parent Portal

What is SchoolTool?

SchoolTool is our district Student Management System. All student information is housed in SchoolTool and used by Administration, Office Staff and Teachers to manage student information. The SchoolTool Parent Portal is used by parents/guardians to log in and view their students’ education information including: Schedule, Attendance, Demographic Information, Grades, Report Cards, Progress Reports, Contact Information, etc.

How do I get an Account?

Parent Portal accounts are automatically created during the student registration process using the primary guardian email address. Parents will receive an email from 'no-reply@scric.org' with their SchoolTool Password enclosed. Parent Portal username will always be the email address on file for that parent. If you did not receive a parent portal welcome email, please go to the SchoolTool Portal Log-In Page and hit "Forgot My Password". If you get an email back with a password reset, your account was created and you can proceed to log in. If you do NOT receive the password reset email and you would like to request an account, submit a Let's Talk! dialogue under the topic 'SchoolTool Parent Portal'.

How do I use the Parent Portal Account?

For details on how to use the parent portal account, please click the 'Quick-Guide' link to the right.

What if I forgot my Password?

If you have forgotten your SchoolTool Parent Portal Password, please use the 'Forgot My Password' link on the log-in screen. A password reset will be sent to the email we have on file for you. If you believe we have an incorrect email listed for you, please fill out the 'Parent Portal Enrollment Form' and provide an up-to-date email address.

NYS Digital Equity Survey for Families

The 2022-2023 Annual Digital Equity Survey can be found on the SchoolTool Parent Portal under Forms. Please complete the survey for each one of your students!

From NYSED: "For New York State students to lead productive and successful lives upon graduation, they must understand and know how to use digital technologies. Technology knowledge and skills are vital for full participation in 21st Century life, work, and citizenship. Sufficient access to computing devices and high-speed internet, both in school and at students' places of residence, are essential for educational equity. 

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the inequitable access to technology and internet services in students’ places of residence was a priority for the Board of Regents and the Department to be addressed. The closure of New York schools and subsequent shift to remote learning only highlighted this urgent need. While New York State educators have made heroic efforts to continue to provide high-quality learning opportunities for our 2.6 million students, remote learning has presented significant challenges.  

The COVID-19 pandemic put a spotlight on the need to address digital equity in New York.  While NYSED's mission and primary concern is education, the Department recognizes that digital equity is not a concern for the Education sector alone.  All New Yorkers need access to broadband; high-speed internet connections are necessary for education, but also for access to healthcare, workforce resources, social services, financial institutions, and goods and services.  Both availability and affordability need to be addressed to meet the needs of all New Yorkers.
