Parent portal

A parent portal that answers the questions parents call the school about

The TapEdu Family Portal gives parents and guardians one login for every linked child: today's lessons and attendance, published results, assignments, fees and messages, in any browser on phone or desktop.

Why it matters

Everything parents ask about, in one place

Fewer calls to the school office, and parents who feel part of their child's school day.

  • One login, every child

    A child switcher moves between all of a parent's linked children, so families with several children never juggle accounts.

  • Results and report cards

    Parents see published results by term and the term report, ready to print at home.

  • Today, at a glance

    Each child's dashboard shows today's lessons and attendance, assignments due, recent results, announcements, news and events.

  • Fees without the queue

    Bills and fees for each child, wallet funding, invoice payments and receipts, with the outstanding balance always in view.

  • Talk to teachers

    When messaging is on, parents message a child's subject teachers in threads, and read teacher remarks in a daily timeline.

  • The right access for each guardian

    Access flags on each guardian's link decide whether they see academics, attendance, reports and finances, and whether they can pay.

How it works

How the parent portal works in TapEdu

Set up once by the school, used every day by families.

  1. Step 1: The school links guardians

    Staff create guardian records, link each one to their children and choose what every guardian can see and pay for.

  2. Step 2: Parents get their login

    The school creates a portal account, and TapEdu emails the login details or a link to set a password.

  3. Step 3: Parents follow every child

    Parents sign in from any browser, switch between their children and see everything the school has published.

  4. Step 4: Everyone stays in touch

    In-app notifications flag new results, absences, payments and announcements, and parents can message teachers when messaging is on.

What is a parent portal?
A parent portal is a secure website where parents and guardians sign in to follow their child's school life. In TapEdu it is called the Family Portal, and it shows each child's attendance, results, term report, timetable, assignments, fees and school updates.
Can a parent with more than one child use one login?
Yes. Parents linked to several children use one login and switch between them with the child switcher. Money in the parent's wallet can be used for any linked child's fees.
Can parents pay school fees from the portal?
Yes, when the school manages fees in TapEdu and the guardian has payment access. Parents fund their wallet by bank transfer, or online where the school has enabled it, and pay invoices in full, in part or per item.
How do parents get their login details?
The school creates a guardian portal account, and TapEdu emails the login details or a link to set a password. Parents can then sign in from any browser.
Is there an app parents need to download?
No. The Family Portal works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so there is nothing to install or update.
