SYOSSET, NY - From Syosset Central School District: The Syosset Council of PTA’s Education Committee hosted a forum in cooperation with the Syosset Central School District called, A Guide to Navigating Our District’s Academic Digital Resources. The focus of this collaborative event, provided parents with an understanding about the dynamic capabilities such as Parent Portal, where one can access information about schedules, calendars, grades, progress reports, grading rubric, and other helpful information about their child. The discussion included other important resources that students use on a daily basis such as Chromebooks and Google Classroom. This lecture was moderated by two administrative presenters, Christine Payne–District Staff Developer and Colleen Vereline–Elementary Technology Support Specialist.

As the district rolls out new academic technology initiatives, a partnership between the PTA and administration is important".
