MyEd BC is a secure, web-based student information management system. The system manages all facets of student data – from attendance to conduct, grades to schedules, and special education. 

School District No 8 (Kootenay Lake) has been using MyEducation BC since 2015. We are now implementing the Family portal so parents, teachers, and administrators can work together and communicate more effectively and efficiently.
 

As a parent/guardian, you can use one login to securely access the information for all of your children from just about anywhere. With MyEd BC, you can view: 

• Family contact and emergency information.
• Academic information:  See real-time information about to your child’s academic achievement. Receive important documents like progress reports and report cards. 
• Conduct and attendance information:  Sign up for email notifications when new information is available. 
• Calendar events:  Color-code events to see at a glance what each family member is doing.

MyEd BC protects your student's information with the same advanced technology your bank uses to protect your financial accounts. Rest assured that users only have access to information they need, and nothing more. We have carefully configured the system to ensure that your student’s information is confidential and can only be retrieved by you – the parent/guardian – and authorized school personnel.

You can only view, not edit your child’s demographic data. If you find information that is outdated or incorrect, notify your child’s school to correct any errors.

You can log on to MyEd BC's Family Portal from any computer that connects to the Internet. This lets you access the system from anywhere – your home and your office.
