Comment from a parent sent to the Schoolnet Help Desk:
“I am not experiencing any problems.After years of logging in to FamilyNet I was so pleasantly
surprised to see so much up to date information on my child.
I look forward to enabling the notification process if my child's grades drop below a certain level.
This is a fantastic improvement! As a partner in my child's education I feel like I am armed with information to better work with my child and his teachers.
Thank you so much!”
