Can parents monitor progress of their child?

A parent can monitor their child's self-reported progress if they have access to the account. This means they can either set the account up or ask their child for account access.

If the student is connected to a teacher's class via Teachers.io, then parents can quickly see everything their child needs to do for that course. The student cannot delete any of the class's assignments, lessons, or tests; he/she can only mark items as completed.

More information is available at myhomeworkapp.com/parents.

My child's school is using your hall passes. Where can I learn more?

Our hall pass system has been built over the last decade with feedback from our existing clients to both respect the privacy of students while giving the school many valuable options to help control their hallways.

For students using the hallways responsibly, the hall pass system will have very little impact on their school day. Parents are able to see the history of hall usage for their child.
