Parent Backpack works on any device and is mobile friendly. Parents are reminded that once they have created their online Parent Backpack account, they must link their students using their Student ID (found on their progress report, report card, or class schedule). After this process is complete, parents must then visit their child’s school and present their government issued photo ID in order for the school to approve their pending request.
