Brightspace Parent & Guardian

It looks like I only get the messages from my child’s class if I am logged into his Pulse app; the two apps are not in sync. Furthermore, the UI needs major improvements to be user friendly. Sometimes, notifications will not even open up when trying to read them.

iPhone 13 mini. Unusable app experience. Uninstalled. Will use desktop instead.

Mostly, I wish I could access my child’s work from the parent app. Also, I only receive notifications sometimes and find it difficult to navigate how to receive more. I see the potential but hope to see some revisions in the future. Thanks for considering.

You cannot see any grades, what’s handed what’s pending, an error message keeps popping up.

Someone must have paid a good bribe to get this app to the TDSB

Zero point to having a separate parents app. It doesn’t work. Don’t waste your timing setting up a parent account. Just log in as your kid. Otherwise you can’t see all the material. Logged in as a parent and the web app wouldn’t let me look at a high school class curriculum PDF as though it was highly confidential information. I’m sure this company is hosing school boards and ignorant IT administrators into wasting time and tax dollars to use this next to useless service.

Our school district changed to Brightspace and we’ve unfortunately only had issues since the switch. Notifications don’t work. Early do their posts load properly. And you can’t communicate back to the teachers would has been very frustrating having to go between app and email constantly. Would definitely use some tweeking and updates to make it more family & user friendly.
