FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BULLHEAD CITY – Knowing how to access a child’s grades and assignments, or being able to communicate with a teacher, are important tools for parents. The Bullhead City School District (BCSD) will host a free workshop designed to help parents learn how to use ParentVue, the District’s online portal that provides these essential capabilities.

The workshop will take place on Tuesday, September 1, beginning at 6:00 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. at BCSD’s District Office, located at 1004 Hancock Road.

BCSD’s technology staff will be on hand to assist parents with setting up or troubleshooting their logins and access before the training begins. Parents are welcome to bring their own laptops or mobile devices, and a limited number of district computers will be available for use. Please note that ID is required for any necessary password resets or access codes.

For those unable to attend in person, the training session will be livestreamed and available on demand afterward. To join the livestream, visit https://youtube.com/live/MbtH7csxuE0. No advance event registration is necessary for either the in-person workshop or the livestream.

ParentVue, a portal within the Synergy platform used by students, parents, and employees, offers access to grades, assignments, attendance records, and teacher communication. For instance, a student’s absence can be reported through ParentVue rather than by calling the school office. A new ParentVue link for BCSD was activated in 2023, along with corresponding Apple and Android apps; parents with children enrolled in more than one BCSD school need only use one account. However, parents whose children attend both BCSD and the Colorado River Union High School District will need to log in separately, as those accounts are no longer linked.

The ParentVue training session will be conducted by Northern Arizona University’s Educational Technology Consortium.
