Parent Portal

KnowledgeNET Parent Portal – Online Parent and Student Portal

Share Data between systems.

Interoperability means more time to focus on teaching and learning and less time spent on labour intensive data administration. Smart Ask (KnowledgeNET Parent Portal) has set the standard in sharing data and is New Zealand’s first Ministry of Education approved SMS/LMS interoperable system.
Parent Portal is an online portal that gives key stakeholders up-to-date, ‘on-demand’ access to an individual student’s education progress. Smart Ask! links with your SMS (Student Management System) so data you choose to share can be made available to parents
