Parentella

Are you looking for ways to help monitor your child's homework and help them stay on track during the upcoming school year? Are you a busy parent who has a hard time managing your child's school calendar as well as your own?

Parentella is an online portal for all things relating to your child's classroom. The dashboard includes a section for Homework, Field Trips, Announcements and Special Activities. There's even a gallery for teachers to share photos from classroom events and where parents can learn more about what goes on between drop-off and pick-up!

Even though my son's school has their own system for providing parents with information, I plan on recommending this to their staff since it's a beautifully designed, easy-to-use program that allows parents and teachers to communicate and make sure everyone's on the same page. And it's all password protected to ensure the privacy of your family.

So whether you have a child in daycare or high school, Parentella is a wonderful tool to help you remember what it is your child is assigned to work on over the holiday break, or what the school supply list included when you lose the paperwork that comes over the summer.
