Reviewed by John Poluektov

School management software makes it easier than ever for parents to engage with their child’s education. Parents can stay updated on their child’s progress in school from anywhere by receiving direct access to grades, assignments, chat features, and more.

Below are the key ways parents can use school management software to stay informed.

5 Ways Parents Can Use School Management Software

1. Access Grades and Progress Reports

Parents can log in to the software and stay up-to-date with their child’s grades on recent assignments and see how they are doing in particular subjects. They can also review progress reports and any comments from teachers. If their child is struggling with a subject, parents can quickly identify that support is needed and provide the necessary assistance.

2. Chat with Teachers

Most parents have busy schedules working and taking care of their family. This makes it difficult to attend teacher-parent conferences on a consistent basis. Additionally, some teachers might need to engage with parents about their child’s performance more than just a few times a year. The chat feature with school management software enables parents to communicate with teachers quickly and easily, without always needing to meet in person.

3. Event Notifications

Parents can view school calendars and receive notifications about events throughout the year. From field trips to science fairs, social gatherings, parent-teacher meetings, and other important deadlines, parents are able to organize work and other duties around an important school event.

4. Homework Tracking

Parents can monitor their child’s assignments and projects throughout each week. Parents can also review any attachments or resources provided by teachers for specific assignments. This makes it easier for parents to provide support if needed, keep track of when things are due, and have a weekly breakdown of their child’s assignments overall.

5. Use From Anywhere

With a cloud-based school management software system, parents can log in, chat with teachers, and review their child’s assignments and grades from anywhere. This means during the holidays when families are traveling or while taking a vacation, parents can still access the information they need about their child by using Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome on PC, MAC, iOS, Android devices, and Linux.
