The following student information can be accessed:
- A List of Current Courses

“Educators and parents rely on VC3’s software to measure, manage and enhance academic performance easily and effectively,” said David Dunn, Chairman & CEO of VC3. “TestView paints a unified picture of student performance and reduces the workload of accountability legislation such as NCLB (the No Child Left Behind Act). Our new Parent Portal goes the next step and connects parents with the classroom to keep them tuned in to their children’s activities and success.”
"In effect, parents have their own exclusive access to Richland Two's data warehouse for information pertinent to their children,” said Tom Cranmer, Director of Information Technology for Richland School District Two.
Parent Portal integrates easily with the school district’s existing data systems that are used for tracking student grades and other key student information. Parent Portal, used in conjunction with TestView and the existing information systems, provides a comprehensive view of students’ school activities.
