NB: If you edit your profile and find the save button is greyed out, ie it won't save, you have probably missed a required field. Double check your profile and make sure you have filled in the required blanks.
You can add, edit or remove your phone number in this section. Your number can then be used by other parents in your class/year (but not the whole school) to call you via the app. It will only be visible to them if you have set it to share in your privacy settings and they click on the phone icon next to your profile photo.
You can update your email address from within your contact details. If you change your email address you will get an email asking you to verify the new one before the change will take effect. Admin users can see your email address but it's not visible to other parents. It's used for sending communications from parents/admins via the platform.
You can add your home address and opt into the parent map here too. Approximate addresses are shown on the map to other parents that have also opted in. You can add details of how you travel to school and then parents can find others close by to arrange lift shares or local meet-ups.
To change your password, simply fill in the old and new passwords making sure they meet the password requirements listed then click save.
Making the most of your profile helps people know they've found the right person and creates a friendly community. Add a profile pic, cover image and bio. Just click the camera icon on the image and upload a suitable photo. You can also check what your profile will look like to other parents.
If you upload a photo you don't like you can change it as many times as you like, but you can't go back to the default image. To delete a photo you don't like simply replace it with another image.
We've made profile pics nice and large so people can actually recognise each other and continue online conversations in real life or vice versa (eg if they meet at the school gates). This also means some people like to use the cover image for a family photo.
