Dearborn Public School parents can now report their child\u2019s absences and check student grades,
\nattendance and more from the convenience of their phone or tablet.
\nParents can download the Q Parent Connection app via Google Play or iTunes and set it up with
\nthe same ID number and password they use for Parent Connection online. Q Parent Connection, via
\ncomputer or the app, allows parents and guardians to check their child\u2019s attendance and grades as that
\ninformation is entered at the school. Adults can also look at their child\u2019s food service balances, if
\nchildren opt to buy items instead of or in addition to the free lunch and breakfast.
\nNew with the app is the option for a parent to report a child absent without calling the school
\noffice.
\n\u201cWe know that increasingly parents are using phones, instead of computers, to do everyday
\nfunctions from checking the weather to managing their finances,\u201d said Troy Patterson, Dearborn Public
\nSchools director of technology and media services. \u201cThis app allows them to use their phone to do the
\nimportant job of staying in touch with their child\u2019s school, from making sure homework is turned in to
\nreporting absences.\u201d
\nStudents can also access information such as grades and attendance through the Q Student
\nConnection app, which provides the same information as their online Q Student Connection account.
\nStudents cannot report their own absences.
\nThe District website has the technical details for setting up Q Parent Connection. If a parent or
\nguardian needs a Parent Connection login, they should call the District at (313) 827-3030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
