Parents/ Guardians should now be logging in to their ParentVue accounts to verify their student information online. The Student Online Verification process will capture essential student data and allow parents to update important information for their child(ren) online. This data is critical for school safety matters and state reporting.  At least one parent per family (who lives with the student and has custody) should login and update emergency and other important information for each child to ensure that all student and parent data is as accurate as possible.
● The Student Online Verification window will be open until September 30th.
● One parent from each family will need to complete this process by September 30, 2022, to ensure we have accurate and up-to-date information on file for each student.

To complete the process, parents should:
● Visit www.cpschools.com and click the ParentVUE link.
● Login or Activate your account.
● Select the Online Registration/ Verification button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
● Follow prompts to verify student information.
