Parents might or might not be recorded in the official SIS/SMS. They might not even be managed in a database at all. Edsby can work in any scenario and yet provide secure parent access to their children’s info. And as parent/child relationships change due to custody or other factors, those changes can reflect in Edsby.
Parents can’t access information they shouldn’t in Edsby. They only see what teachers have specifically shared in their children’s current classes, and only see information on their child. They cannot view posts or even profile photos of anyone other than their child.
