Parent Technology Resources

The Patchogue-Medford School District utilized eSchool ParentPortal to provide information about your students' bus information, Progress Reports, Report Cards, Assessments, Immunizations and parent/guardian contact information .

Please be sure to view the videos below, which provide a visual demonstration and guide you through accessing the various features available in the Parent Portal.

ParentSquare is a unified communications platform designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection. It provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to: 

• Send and receive school and class information
• See calendar items

Please sign up for a ParentSquare account before watching the Getting Started video.

Parents—Getting Started Video 

All district and school, grade level and classroom information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices). 

Have questions? Click the question mark in the top right corner of the desktop version or the Help tab on the app (tap the triple bar icon at the top left) to find answers to most of your questions.

Parents are provided with two options to monitor your child's internet activity on Patchogue-Medford School District devices:

Weekly Activity Report: Receive a summary of your child's web browsing activity from the previous week, including page visits and website metrics, directly to your inbox.

Lightspeed Parent Portal: Access a comprehensive web-based portal for in-depth visibility and control over your child's online activity. Portal features include:

• View allowed and blocked websites
• Pause web browsing
• Manage YouTube access

You'll automatically start receiving the Weekly Activity Report as a parent or guardian with an active email. Within the Weekly Activity Reports, you can register for an account to access the Lightspeed Parent Portal, which will provide additional reporting and the ability to block or limit specific web applications.

A guide explaining more about what is possible is attached to this message. Please note that you will not have control over all the items outlined in the guide, as the district may block them at any time.  Should you have further questions, please verify that your email address within the eSchool Parent Portal is accurate
