Review: The “Plus Portal” applications are created by the Rediker Software company. It is linked with our district’s student data system. What’s nice about these applications is that they provide easy access to student grades and other school related information and promote communication between home and school. The apps grant users access to student progress reports and school announcements by using created login information. All student accounts are linked to our student’s school email accounts. Parent accounts are setup using a personal email. I decided to review this application because I think it’s provided our parents with an easy way to stay connected to the school and their child’s success in school. I think that the more important element of the application is that is provides students with easy access to their own progress reports, school announcements and self-monitoring tools. We encourage students to use the program to promote accountability and responsibility with school work. There is a teacher version of the mobile app as well.
