To view parent portal, you need an internet connection and your internet browser must be fairly up to date (Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, Safari, Firefox 2.0 or above, etc...) You will also need to disable the Pop-Up blocker for this site, if you have one installed. If you have a Pop-UP blocker enabled, then you will not see the next screen after logon.
Due to the sensitive nature of grades being a private thing between school and parent, we can not send a paper home to be signed. If a paper were to be lost, then others would have access to confidential and private data. To ensure you are who you say you are, we require the parent / guardian of the student to show up in person, show a picture ID, and then we can give you the information needed for the portal.
No, two students would have two different log-on's as they have two separate gradebooks. You can however, make it a bit easier for log-in purposes and change the password to the same for both.
The official address is: https://excelsior.lawtonps.org/pinnacle/piv
However, it is a lot easier to type in http://www.lawtonps.org (Lawton Public School Webpage) and find the Gradebook picture on the left side of the page and click on that to go straight to the page.
Once you are logged in parent portal, on the lower left part of the page is a section called 'OPTIONS'. One of those options is 'Change Password'. Click on that link and you will be asked for your old password and then enter a new password. You can not put more than nine (9) characters for your password.
It usually is one of two things...
Parent portal is a Pop Up. Why...we have no idea, but in order to use Parent Portal, you have to disable Pop Up's. Typically you do that under the Tools menu. You can disable pop up's just this time or program your browser to always allow this site to do pop up's.
The other is using java technology. A modern internet browser is needed that allows java to work in the background. If you have windows 98, Me, or even XP service pack 1, it may not work. Getting a new browser (update) typically solves the problem.
Go to the lower left side of the screen under Options and click on E-Mail. Put in the same E-Mail address that you are getting e-mails from the Parent Portal. Then uncheck the reports you had selected to receive.
Go to the lower left side of the screen under Options and click on E-Mail. Put in the same E-Mail address that you are getting e-mails from the Parent Portal. Then check the reports you want to add.
The e-mails you receive from Parent Portal are automatically generated by the gradebook servers. There is no one actually sending the e-mail. It is just sending you reports as you indicated on the e-mail page that you wanted. Replying to one of those e-mails just sends your e-mail back to the server where it could stay forever. If you need to contact the school over a concern due to the grades on the report, either e-mail the teacher directly, call the school for an e-mail address, or call the school and request a conference with the teacher.
You can call the school directly and ask for any of the following:
Trying to reply to one of the Parent Portal e-mail's does not work. The reports are automatically generated by a computer and replying to them does not go to humans.
We use the following scale:
Final Semester Grades are averaged by taking each 9 weeks grade and averaging them together in Elementary and in Secondary a 40% 9 weeks, 40% 9 weeks, 20% semester test is calculated to make the semester grade. These grades don’t really count until the end of the semester as one grade in a new nine weeks will be outweighed by the 20 grades in the other 9 weeks.
