Parent Resources

Welcome Parents!

At Taper we believe children who are supported by their schools, families, and community tend to perform better in school, stay in school longer, and enjoy school more. Parents are an important part of their child's academic, social, and emotional success and making school a positive and engaging place to learn. We welcome you to participate and partner with us in your child's education as future scholars.

Below you will find some important resources, guides, and links to help guide you to your child's education and connect with us, and as always if you have any questions or concerns please contact our main office.

Essentials

Please begin here for information and guides on how to register or log into The Parent Portal a one-stop online system available 24/7 that securely connects you, the parent, to essential realtime information to your child’s educational progress and information.

Schoology - /skoo-luh-jee/- is a learning management system (LMS) that has content teachers create and assign to students for them to complete, as well as assessments they can take to monitor their progress.
