Jones Hill State
School will be providing parents with access to a new, convenient, online
parent portal called QParents.
The QParents web

school. Parents will have secure, online access to their child’s student
information, anytime, anywhere, through a smartphone, tablet or computer.
QParents allows
parents to connect instantly with our school to access and manage their child’s
student information, including:
- Attendance and absence
details, as well as the ability to notify the school of an absence
- Behaviour information
- Academic report cards
- Viewing unpaid invoice
details, payment history, and making payments online
- Viewing and updating
personal student details, including medical conditions and address

QParents will assist both staff and parents in sharing and responding to

the traditional ways you communicate with our school, but it will provide
another way to communicate with us!

What do you
need to do to get started?
On Wednesday 23
August we sent out letters inviting one parent or guardian for each student to
become a QParents Account Owner (QPAO). The QPAO will be able to register for
QParents to access and manage the student’s information online. A student’s
QPAO will be able to view the student’s information and submit requests to
update some of the student’s details.
The QPAO will also
be able to invite other people (such as another parent or family member), to
view the student’s information. Please return this form as soon as
possible.
Once invited,
these people can register for QParents as “delegated viewers”. A delegated
viewer can see the student’s details, but cannot make updates.
Invitations will
be sent Wednesday 7 September. When you receive your invitation email or letter, simply follow the
instructions to register your QParents account. The process should take less
than 10 minutes to complete. Invitations sent by email will only ever come from
no.reply@qparents.qld.edu.au.
You will not be invited to register from any other email address or
organisation.
If you do no not
want to register you can just ignore the invitation and your child’s student
information will not be available to anyone through QParents.
