Parentsportal

South Lanarkshire Council use parentsportal.scot to communicate with and seek consent from parents and carers, rather than the ‘school bag’ run used previously by generations of Scottish children. 

Parentsportal.scot is a new digital service to help replace the traditional ‘school bag run’ by providing direct communication to parents and carers through a growing suite of online services.  Through parentsportal.scot you will be able to grant permissions for school trips, view school lunch menus, view attendance, complete the annual data check, access your child's school reports, book and link directly to ParentPay to make payment for school meals, to name but a few.

Access

To access parentsportal.scot go to Parentsportal.scot

If you have a mygovscot account click the link to Sign In or if you don’t have a mygovscot my account click the link to register for a mygovscot my account.  Alternatively use the QR codes below to download the parentsportal.scot APP.

Once registered you will be prompted to Link Your Child.  To be able to link your child you will be asked to provide details relating to your child, the school they attend and your relationship with them.  Once the details are found and matched you will be sent a security code to either your mobile number or email address registered in the school.  The security code is to provide additional security before your child’s record is linked.  Your request to link your child will then be sent to your child's school for approval.  You will then be notified of the decision to approve the link on your email.

Once your child/children are linked to their school you will start to receive communications from the school via parentsportal.scot and over time will become your one-stop-shop to everything to do with your child and their school.
