Dear Broward County Public Schools Families,

Broward County Public Schools is streamlining the way parents access their students’ information by launching a new parent information portal for the 2024/25 school year.

Join District staff and the Parent and Community Involvement Task Force on April 8, at 6:30 p.m., for the new webinar Parent University: Get Focus(ed)!

Staff will provide an introduction and overview of the new Focus student information system, which will replace Pinnacle and Virtual Counselor.

Focus centralizes all applications used by parents into one districtwide system., incorporating attendance, grade book, scheduling, report cards, transportation and communication.

Participants will have the opportunity to submit questions through a chat feature at various points throughout the presentation. Closed captioning will be available in Spanish and Portuguese.
