For parents of current Pingree School students, your information in the Veracross parent portal is protected by a password and is accessible only to authenticated users.

This integration allows for secure and convenient access to all school-related platforms while maintaining strict security standards. If you wish to opt out of our online directory, you can do so by updating your profile within the Veracross portal.

Personal information, particularly data related to your consent to receive text messages, is only shared as necessary to fulfill obligations to you, such as processing donations or providing requested services. We ensure that this data is used solely for the purpose you have consented to and is not shared or sold for marketing or other purposes.
