Dear Galvin Community Families, We are excited to announce that ours school district is now enrolling parents in the iParent portion of our iPass Student Management Software. Parents will be able to view their child’s biographical data as well as attendance, term grades, and standardized test scores from your home computer via the internet. The goal of this program is to increase communication and access to information between parents and Wakefield Public Schools. To participate, you will need to have your child’s student identification number. This can be found on a student’s schedule, report card or progress report. Also you will need Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape 4.0 or later installed on your computer. This system is for parental access only; do not allow your child to establish your account. To enroll in the system: Go to the Wakefield Public Schools homepage at http://www.wakefieldpublicschools.org Click on the “Parents” tab and click on the link labeled iParent Registration. Please fill out the appropriate information on the on-line form and make sure all boxes are completed. Complete this now for all your children in the district. Please write down your User ID and Password for future reference, keeping in mind that both pieces are case sensitive. When you finish click SUBMIT at the bottom of the page. The form that you submit will be reviewed to ensure that the person requesting access is entitled to receive confidential information for the student(s) listed on the application. Please refer to the iParent Documentation for a System Guide for Parents on the “Parents” tab of the district website. After you hit “submit” our building staff will need to go in and verify that you are the correct person to view your child’s information. This verification process may take us up to ten business days, especially for the larger schools. Your patience is appreciated while we work through the initial verification step! After we complete verification and identify you as the correct person to view your child’s information, you will get an email that approval has been granted. Then you may use the iParent Login link on the district’s webpage “Parents” tab to access your child’s information. You will also have the ability to update email and telephone contact information as it changes for emergency purposes. We hope that you find iParent a useful tool to enhance our school partnership. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Lea Terfry in the Galvin main office at
