By launching the Parent Portal, a district takes the crucial step of involving parents in the mission of keeping students safe on school technology, especially after hours and on weekends.

Below is what your journey will look like after you've received an email invitation from your school to create your Parent Portal account.

  1. If you'd like to enroll in the free Parent Portal, click Confirm My Contact Info in the email you've received:

  2. Then, enter an email and create a password for your free Parent Portal account.

    🤔 What if I already have a Bark account?
    Your child's student accounts will be automatically added to your account. If not added automatically, you either have a different email address for your Bark account than what the school used to invite you to Parent Portal or you weren't logged into Bark when clicking the link in the invite email.

    🧑‍🧒‍🧒 What if I have multiple kids?
    If you receive separate activation emails for each child, you do not need to create separate Parent Portal accounts. Once you've created an account with the first child, it should automatically add your other children.

  3. Enter your child's birth month and birth year, and click Save.

  4. If you're interested, consider taking advantage of our free Screen Time controls! Learn more about our screen time & filtering. Otherwise, select I'll do this later when prompted.

  5. That's it! Now you will be able to review alerts from the dashboard. You can access it on any browser or via the Bark parent app on iOS and Android.
