There are various tools found on the Parent Access>Maintenance tab.

  • Mass Email Parent Access Users - This feature allows you to mass email the users of Parent Access. Select the template for the email from the list and then hit create. The email will be automatically filled out and sent for you. IMPORTANT NOTE: If the letter contains a PARENT_PASSWORD macro, a new password will be generated and placed into the e-mail. 
  • Student Cleanup - This function will analyze all students attached to parent/student users. Students will be removed from accounts if the student is now attending a school with the "For Parents Module" unchecked.
  • Parent/Student Portal Account Cleanup - This process will check Portal accounts for students matching below criteria. Based on selections below, students will be removed from Portal Accounts. Empty Portal accounts (ones with no students attached) will then be either disabled or deleted based on your selection.

    If a contact is a Guardian 1 and they do not live in same residence as Guardian 2 3 OR 4, the contact will be given rights to all of the students contacts except Guardian 2 3 OR 4.
    If a contact is a Guardian 2 3 OR 4 and they do not live in same residence as Guardian 1, the contact will only be allowed to view and edit the Guardian 2 3 OR 4 contact.
     If a contact is anything but Guardian 1 or Guardian 2 3 OR 4, the contact will be ignored by this routine.
