Parent Portal is an exciting feature of Purple Mash which allows parents/carers to gain insight into their child's learning on Purple Mash. They can easily see all the activities associated with their child, including any rewards or approved work to display boards and blogs. Furthermore, they can see any 2Dos set and the status of their progress against the set 2Dos. A child may wish to share a piece of work with their parent, this too can easily be accessed via Parent Portal.
Registration
All login cards which are printed for pupils will have a Parent Code field on them. All parents need to do is use the URL on the login card along with the Parent Code to register for access to Parent Portal. Each child can have a maximum of four 'Parents' associated with them. At any point, a Parent can be disassociated/removed from a child's account.
When they reach the URL page, they will need to select 'Register as a parent'.
Once the parents have successfully registered, they will receive a 'Welcome Email' with an 'Activation Link'.
