Parent To Do before School Starts
You may ask yourself, how can I be prepared for my child’s start of school. There are just three easy steps.
- Have you set up your ParentVue account. This only needs to be done once, so if you have already set it up, your good go to. Otherwise, contact the school office for your Activation key.
- Verify/Change your child’s information such as phone number, email, address etc. This was previously known as the “Census Sheet” but now can be done online. Verifying/Changing information can be accomplished through your ParentVue account by clicking on “Online Registration” in the top right corner.
- How will your child Arrive/Dismiss from School. Fill out our “Arrival & Dismissal Electronic Form” on the Zeman Website under Zeman Resources.
