Who do I contact if I'm having trouble with the Student Grades/Parent Portal? You should contact Carla Christiansen, Gayville-Volin Administrative Assistant, as she is the school's contact person. She will be processing the applications and troubleshooting user problems. You can email her at [email protected] or call her at 1-605-267-4476 ext.101. 2. In the Student Grades/Parent Portal, I don't see all of my children displayed. One of your children is not added correctly in the program. Notify Carla Christiansen of the problem and she will get your child added. 3. I cannot log into the Student Grades/Parent Portal. It says my account is disabled. You may have typed your password incorrectly too many times. You are only allowed 3 times to get your password right before your account is disabled. This is to prevent people from trying to get into your account by "guessing" your password. Contact Carla to have your account enabled again. 4. How do I change password? After you log into the Student Grades/Parent Portal, you will find a link under User Settings on the left side of your screen that says "Account Management". Click on this link and you will be able to specify a new password there. 5. Can anyone else see my access log? Yes, those that have administrative rights are able to see the access logs. However, they are not being monitored in any way. The only time the system administrator will even into an account is to unlock it if it gets disabled because of incorrect login entries or to check a password if a user forgets theirs. Parents should feel secure in knowing that their privacy is being maintained. 6. How is the State of South Dakota using this information? The Student Grades/Parent Portal, also referred to as DDN Campus, is a statewide web-based database of student and staff information. Under this system, all data will be stored using a unified secure system instead of each district using a stand-alone system. South Dakota will be able to use all of this information for many purposes. Visit the DDN Campus website at www.ddncampus.net to see a list of their intended uses of this information.
