What is Operoo?

Operoo provides a simple way for parents/guardians to sign forms and safely share emergency and medical data with schools and clubs.

What is Nforma?

Nforma is a reporting platform . Creating a profile on the Parent Portal allows you to access student mid and end of year Student Achievement Reports.
