A parent portal that saves parents a phone call
In ClassTablet's parent portal a parent opens an account and links their child with the email or phone number on the child's account. One page then shows which classes the child is in, what classes or quizzes are coming up, and recent quizzes, assignments and attendance. Absence alerts arrive in the app, by push and by email.
The parent portal is part of the Standard and Custom plans. The page below shows how a parent opens an account and links a child; the linked pages show how absence and fee notices reach them.
Features in this area
- Your child's phone number is enough
While setting up a parent account, enter the child's phone number or email along with your relationship, and the two accounts are linked together.
- One code and your child is in the classroom
With the classroom's invite code from the teacher, a parent can add their child themselves. Some classrooms send it as a request for approval instead.
- No guessing which batches your child is actually in
The parent's classrooms page lists a child's active enrolments along with any classrooms where a join request is still waiting for approval.
- Know how your child is doing without asking them
A parent's home page shows their child's upcoming classes and deadlines, recent activity and attendance, with a selector when more than one child is linked.
- Which children are linked to you
A parent sees which children are linked to their account, what class each is in and at which institution, and picks between them in one place.
- Open a parent account and link your child in two minutes
Parents sign up and link their child with the child's email or phone number, then follow classes, quizzes and attendance in ClassTablet for free.
Frequently asked questions
What about parents without a smartphone?
The portal needs internet on a phone or computer. Parents with an ordinary mobile get SMS when the admin sends one or a teacher sends exam result SMS.
Which notices do parents get automatically?
An alert in the app, by push and by email when the child is absent, and an in-app and email reminder when a fee is unpaid. Each can be turned off in their own settings.
Can one parent link more than one child?
Yes. With several children linked, a child picker appears at the top of the portal and shows the classes, work and results of whichever child you choose.
