Change where you register absentee’s as I cannot find it. It’s not intuitive. Both my wife and I have given up trying to find it. Please sort it out!
Description
Similar in nature to the iStudent app, the iParent app offers parents quick access to real-time school information about their child. This includes everything from attendance records to exam results, reward and detention notifications, access to reports and assessments, teaching groups, timetables and more.
The official iSAMS Parent app links directly with the iSAMS Parent Portal. It has been designed to offer parents a quick and easy channel for keeping up-to-date with their son or daughter’s performance and any relevant school information, including last minute calendar notifications or event invites. It is aimed at enhancing the information flow from your school/teachers to parents ensuring greater engagement between all parties.
The iParent app offers parents a useful and configurable dashboard where they are able to view information and activities about all children at the school. Quick links are provided for:
The timetable of each child
Information about any sanctions and rewards
School news and bulletins
The school calendar
The photo galleries
More detailed information can then be located about the following:
Teaching groups
The school timetable
Internal exam details (entries, timetables, results)
External exam details (entries, timetables, arrangements, candidate details, results)
School reports and assessments
Attendance
Activities
Detentions
Reward and conduct details
Parents can use the app to view and subscribe to your school communications including emails, SMS messages and push notifications to the app. Push notifications will advise parents about any timely updates for each child, including information such as recently released reports or exam results, any rewards or detentions and pastoral records.
They can also view the contacts linked with their child and request changes to any contact details, thereby ensuring the data is accurate and up-to-date.
As with the iStudent app, there is full access to all school news and bulletins (both current and archived news), the school calendar and the school directory.
The data used by the iSAMS Parent app is encrypted to ensure that confidential information cannot be accessed by unauthorised personnel. Your school also controls the level of visibility of information and communication subscriptions offered to parents.
Please note: The iSAMS Parent app must be installed by your school in order for it to be accessible to parents. It will only work as part of the iSAMS management information system and Parent Portal.

Dreadful
Useless app very frustrating

Error messages keep popping up
I keep getting data error when I log in and click my kids name. Tried reinstalling the app several times but it is just the app issue. On a computer I can still see all info.
No support available
Push notifications won’t turn on. When I go to the help and feedback functions these don’t work either.
Login broken
Fed up having to log in with uid and password every time when face recognition has CLEARLY BEEN ENABLED. Please fix.
Glitchy notifications
I use iSams as a Teacher and as a Parent. I despise it. It is fine on a computer but the apps either have enormous lag or are glitchy. For example, I see a badge that I have 38 notifications. On opening the app I go into messages. In the ‘unread tab’ I select a message and read it. It disappears, presumably into the ‘read tab’. After reading all the messages I look in the main menu at the number of notifications; despite reading all 38 messages, I now have 36 notifications. Going back into unread messages and - like magic - the messages I have just read have reappeared marked as unread! The ‘delete all’ button does nothing. Doesn’t even delete one message! So I use the ‘edit’ button in the lower left and delete each message individually…. Back to the menu and again most of the messages have magically reappeared. This occurs in both parent and teacher apps. I installed the app 8 months ago and the issue has never resolved. As our school were usually just sending about 10 news stories a week to parents and nothing else I just ignored the notifications. However, a recent school email tells me that all medical updates for my child will be reported via iSams. I know I will inevitably miss these messages because I don’t have 5 minutes every day to fight to delete read messages and therefore the notifications build up and up. I have deleted and reinstalled the app with no joy. This glitch happens in the iSams Teacher and iSams Parent apps. On a different note, our school uses iSams to email parents various letters. Half go straight to my junk mail and if other parents didn’t forewarn me they were there I wouldn’t notice them. You may say this is a setting on my email account - but explain to me why the same member of staff (school secretary) sent 3 emails within 30 minutes and one made it to my inbox but two went to junk? They all had very similar message subjects. Very disappointing. ISams is fine to use on a computer and has a lot of potential app-wise but the company should not have released these apps until they had been fully tested.
Log in
The app would get more stars except for the login procedure. There doesn’t seem to be a reminder for updating your password so when it’s outdated you have to contact your administrator to give a temporary password, login using that and then change it. It’s a pain.
