Give parents a simple, secure way to stay informed about their child's attendance, grades, and school communications — without phone calls or paper reports.

Parent using a secure school information portal

What parents can access.

Attendance Records

Parents can view their child's daily attendance record and receive notifications for absences where configured.

Academic Progress

Grades, marks and progress reports accessible to parents at any time — not just at the end of the term.

School Announcements

Circulars, event notices and school news published by staff are visible to parents through the portal.

Report Cards

Term report cards generated from the system and made available to parents digitally — reducing printing and distribution.

Learner Profile

Basic learner information and contact details maintained in a centralised profile accessible to authorised staff and parents.

Secure Access

Parent accounts are created and managed by the school. Each parent can only view their own child's information.

The parent portal is part of a complete school management system.

The parent-facing portal is built on top of AutoM8's school management system, which handles the school-side administration — capturing grades, recording attendance, publishing announcements and generating report cards.

What the school captures in the administration system is what parents see in the portal. You only need to enter information once.
