Parent Module Logon Types

The "Parent Access" module currently supports types of users:

• Guardian – These are the 'standard' Parent or Guardian logons. This type of logon is used to provide access to parents and guardians of students.
• Student – The "Student" logon type identifies an actual student. When this user logs in, the screen will read "Student Resources" instead of "Parent Access".
• Counselor – This type of user identifies a Guidance Counselor who may be linked to all of their students. This is a quick way of providing Guidance Counselors with a "view only" access to student information (e.g. so that they can share with students during conferences).
• Vice Principal – Similar to the "Counselor" logon type, the Vice Principal logon type is designed to give rapid "view only" access to Vice Principals.
• Principal - Similar to the "Counselor" logon type, the Principal logon type is designed to give rapid "view only" access to Principals.

Regardless of the type of Parent Access logon, the same screens are currently available to all users. However, the Guardian (i.e. "parent/guardian") type of logon and the "Student" type of logon are both special.

Guardian Logons
Guardian logons can be created (or linked to) directly from student records – and will constitute the link between Parent Access and student Contacts.

Student Logons
When a logon is categorized as a 'student' logon, when the student logs in, a "Student Portal" Home summary screen is displayed in lieu of the usual "Parent Portal" entry screen,
