What is the Parent Directory?
The Parent Directory module is designed to help families connect more easily by allowing parents to opt in and share their contact details with others in thier child's year level, form group/roll class, or classes.
Whether you're organising a birthday party, coordinating carpooling, following up on homework, or simply hoping to get to know other parents in your school community, the parent directory makes it easier to stay in touch. Once a parent opts in, their contact information will be visible only to other parents who have also chosen to participate.

The Parent Directory is a simple feature that allows parents to share their contact details with other parents in their child's year level, form group/ roll class or classes.
No action is required from the school staff or administrators - everything is fully controlled by parents through their account.
