The
MyPolkSchools Parent Portal
Parents
can now access their student’s information from any computer with an
internet connection. The MyPolkSchools Parent Portal allows parents to check
current grades, obtain immunization status, learn if their child had any
recorded discipline or attendance issues throughout the day, check their
child’s current lunch account balance, and even see what their child
purchased in the lunchroom – all before their child comes home from school.
