You control your own information!

Using ParentsWeb, you will have the ability to make changes to most of your demographics information online. Are you moving or changing phone numbers? You can can make those changes yourself. We are asking parents to please remember to do this if something changes in your household. If you call the office to make a change, they will direct you to try to do it through ParentsWeb. Of course, if you have any trouble, I'm available to assist. To get to this part of ParentsWeb, simply login to the system (see #1 above). Once there, under School Information, you will see a link called Web Forms. Click that and then you'll see a Family Demographics link on the right. Once you are on this screen, you will be able to edit demographics, medical, custodial, emergency and grandparent information. We think this control will help you and the school maintain a more accurate database of information for your child and family.

Online School Directory 

RenWeb has an online school directory feature that we have implemented. This will allow families to look up contact information about other families at St. Laurence. You have the opportunity to select which information will be seen by the St. Laurence community. To get there, login to ParentsWeb, click the Web Forms link and then go to Family Demographic Form and click on each parent's Custodial form. Scroll to the bottom and you will see the Parent Preferences section. There you can choose to block some information by clicking YES in the appropriate section. Furthermore, you can also choose which communication method(s) you wish to be notified from our Parent Alert system (school closings, emergency information, etc). When finished, hit the Save button at the bottom. Don't forget to do this for EACH custodial person in your household.
