Parent Portal

 

USBE Parent Portal Welcome Page

Utah’s Constitution and laws respect parents’ primary role in the education of their children.  The Utah State Board of Education (“USBE”) deeply appreciates the trust that parents have placed in Utah’s public education system, and is committed to supporting them in this critical mission.

Recent research has emphasized effective family engagement as a key component of school transformation and improvement efforts.  Students with highly engaged families:

  • Attend school regularly
  • Have stronger social skills
  • Earn higher grades
  • Graduate from high school
  • Go on to college or other postsecondary program

"Research shows that children spend only 20% of their waking time annually in formal classroom education, leaving 80% of their time to explore and enhance their learning interests in non-school settings." Harvard Research Project (2014)

This parent portal outlines the basic structure of Utah’s public education system, some of the rights of parents in the direction of their children’s education, and opportunities to engage with and support your schools at the state and local level. 

USBE welcomes and encourages participation of parents and community members from all backgrounds.  The portal is available in multiple languages, and USBE offers verbal translation services for further discussions with our staff.  

I am at your service as the Parent Liaison and Engagement Education Specialist (53G-6-807).  Please feel free to reach out and ask any question about parental rights, student rights, process, policy, legislation, board rule, or resources available to you!
