Manually Setting up a Parent Account

In SchoolsBuddy, you can manually link a parent to a student. This is useful if you need to:

• Link yourself to a test student to view the parent experience.

• Manually link a parent who is not in your MIS

To set up a Parent Account, login to your SchoolsBuddy account and complete the following steps:

1. Go to the Reception tab
2. Click on the Users tab

3. Search for the student you wish to link.
   Tip: Each site has five test students available if you would like to practice.

4. Click on the search button
5. Select the student from the results
6. On the right-hand side, click on the Linked tab.
7. Click the +Add button and fill in the three fields

• First Name
• Last Name
• Email Address

⚠️ Important Notes

Once added, the linked person will be able to log in as if they are the parent of the student.
They will have the same permissions as a parent, including the ability to:

• Select activities

• See student diary

• Receive school communications

• Make payments
