Description
Similar in nature to the iStudent app, the iParent app offers parents quick access to real-time school information about their child. This includes everything from attendance records to exam results, reward and detention notifications, access to reports and assessments, teaching groups, timetables and more.
The official iSAMS Parent app links directly with the iSAMS Parent Portal. It has been designed to offer parents a quick and easy channel for keeping up-to-date with their son or daughter’s performance and any relevant school information, including last minute calendar notifications or event invites. It is aimed at enhancing the information flow from your school/teachers to parents ensuring greater engagement between all parties.
The iParent app offers parents a useful and configurable dashboard where they are able to view information and activities about all children at the school. Quick links are provided for:
The timetable of each child
Information about any sanctions and rewards
School news and bulletins
The school calendar
The photo galleries
More detailed information can then be located about the following:
Teaching groups
The school timetable
Internal exam details (entries, timetables, results)
External exam details (entries, timetables, arrangements, candidate details, results)
School reports and assessments
Attendance
Activities
Detentions
Reward and conduct details
Parents can use the app to view and subscribe to your school communications including emails, SMS messages and push notifications to the app. Push notifications will advise parents about any timely updates for each child, including information such as recently released reports or exam results, any rewards or detentions and pastoral records.
They can also view the contacts linked with their child and request changes to any contact details, thereby ensuring the data is accurate and up-to-date.
As with the iStudent app, there is full access to all school news and bulletins (both current and archived news), the school calendar and the school directory.
The data used by the iSAMS Parent app is encrypted to ensure that confidential information cannot be accessed by unauthorised personnel. Your school also controls the level of visibility of information and communication subscriptions offered to parents.
Please note: The iSAMS Parent app must be installed by your school in order for it to be accessible to parents. It will only work as part of the iSAMS management information system and Parent Portal.
What’s New
Version 2.1.42
FIX - fixed an issue that caused push notifications to not be recieved for some devices.
Ratings and Reviews
Better, but still room to improve
I have children in different schools and switching between schools is not as easy as it should be. Also, by seeing different schools (some of which have activated certain widgets and others which haven't) it's easier to see the gaps for what they are. iSAMs should not display the same functionalities for ALL schools if the schools don't / won't utilise every functionality. For instance, the "Latest News" isn't used by any school. Why display it as a Menu item? It just makes the school/s look sloppy.
Otherwise, this is much improved from the previous version. Please keep refining!
Emails system needs refining
I use the email system to directly email teachers but I can’t see history of email traffic. So for the time being I have reverted to using the old way.
Overall the app is well structured and will be great once these little things are ironed out.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your review. Two way e-mail and a communications centre are being developed and will appear in a future version.
Password frustration
We only use the app to read school reports which come out termly, by which time passwords expire. Literally every time I use the app I have to create a new password.
But the password criteria on the reset page don’t tell the whole story, it says you need a capital and a number etc but nowhere does it tell you that there have to be at least twelve characters, until after it rejects everything you’ve typed in clears all the boxes because your password is invalid. Put ALL the password criteria on the page!
