Parent Access General Information

Regional Data Services has developed an easy way to provide information to parents with a direct link from each teacher's gradebook. No more homework hotlines. No more special "posting" of information by teachers. Parents will know immediately that their child is late for school or not at school at all, and will have the comfort of being informed on their student's grade progress in between report cards. The RDS Parent Access Software interfaces directly with the RDS Teacher Gradebook and Student Information System. All information is available to parents the moment it is recorded, and parents can login from work, home or school!
