With Xello\u2019s new Family Portal, parents and guardians can collaborate with educators to support their child\u2019s journey to future readiness.<\/h2>\n

There are so many different things students need to consider and plan for when exploring their post-secondary options. While it\u2019s important for students to take ownership of their futures and their future plans, the caring adults in their life play an essential supporting role.<\/p>\n

Parental engagement<\/a>\u00a0in a child\u2019s education has been proven to have both positive academic and\u00a0social outcomes<\/a>. Having both educators and guardians on the same page when it comes to a student\u2019s future goals helps keep students engaged and encourages them to continue pursuing their journey to career readiness.<\/p>\n

However, collaboration between families and educators can be challenging, due in part to busy schedules, unclear lines of communication, and a lack of shared understanding about students\u2019 future goals and plans.<\/p>\n

Empower Parents and Guardians to Help Students Prepare for Future Success<\/h3>\n

Xello\u2019s Family Portal is a new features that is intended to invite parents and guardians to gain visibility into their child\u2019s future goals and plans; this way they can better support their child\u2019s learning and development.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The read-only experience of the Family Portal helps parents and guardians gain a deeper understanding of their child\u2019s interests, goals, and plans so they can support them along the way. Similar to the educator experience, families can see the student\u2019s progress on lessons, assessments, and career and university exploration. And with built-in guidance, educators can also feel confident that parents and guardians will be able to explore Xello on their own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Educators Can Easily Track and Manage Family Accounts<\/h3>\n

As an educator, you can easily add, edit or unlink family accounts to ensure the right guardian, or even mentor, has access to a student\u2019s profile. The family account details are readily available in an individual student\u2019s profile so you can quickly reference the information.<\/p>\n

The new parents tab also helps you keep track of all family accounts. Not only can you see which accounts are linked to each student, but also the last time a guardian logged into the portal. And with filters to sort by year group, you can quickly take the measure of how engaged families are across your school or college.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
