Welcome to
Community Portal
The Department for Education South Australia Community Portal ("Community Portal") is an online tool provided for parents/legal guardians ("caregivers") to access timely and secure information about their children, and for caregivers to request updates of information about their children. Caregivers of children attending Department for Education South Australia schools and preschools are provided with their own unique user account for the Community Portal. By activating a user account, caregivers agree to abide by and support the terms of use and user expectations set forth in this agreement ("Agreement").
A) Rights and Responsibilities
Access to the Community Portal is a free service offered to all current and active caregivers of children attending Department for Education South Australia students and preschools. Only after a family has enrolled their child(ren) in a Department for Education South Australia school or preschool will a caregiver be authorised to activate a Community Portal user account. Once a student withdraws or graduates from the Department for Education South Australia school or preschool such access will be deactivated. Caregivers and staff must understand and practice proper and ethical use.
B) Information Accuracy Responsibilities
Information accuracy is the joint responsibility of Department for Education South Australia and caregivers. Each school will make every attempt to ensure information is accurate and complete. If a caregiver discovers any inaccurate information, they have a responsibility to notify their school immediately.
C) Use of Community Portal
Caregivers understand and agree to adhere to the following:
D) Security Features
Access is made available through a secure Internet site. Account holders are responsible for not sharing their passwords and to properly protect or destroy any printed or electronic documentation generated from or about the Community Portal site.
The users will be automatically logged off if they leave their web browser open and inactive for a predetermined period of time.
The caregiver account will be permanently deactivated when his/her children have either withdrawn or graduated from a Department for Education South Australia school or preschool, or a court action denies the caregiver access to his/her child's information.
