A Parent Portal for Schools in Uganda
The MySchool parent portal gives linked guardians a focused view of relevant learner information. Parents can follow attendance, grades, school fees, announcements, communication, and linked children without receiving access to the school’s administrative workspace.

Why it matters
Give families useful information in one trusted place
School communication becomes confusing when fee updates, attendance, grades, and announcements arrive through unrelated channels. A parent portal creates a consistent school-branded place for authorized family access.
02
Keep school announcements separate from private support and internal staff communication.
03
Show only information the school has recorded and chosen to expose.
04
Provide a mobile-friendly experience for parents checking information between other responsibilities.
