Navigating ManageBac+ as a parent
A tour of the pages parents use: My Workspace, the left menu, your child's classes, calendar, portfolio, Academic Profile and your own profile.
My Workspace
My Workspace is the page you see after signing in. It shows shortcuts such as Excusal Request and Reports, your child's Daily Calendar, school news from groups such as the Parents Association, Homeroom Attendance and a Weekly Calendar. What you see depends on what your school uses.
Select Customise Dashboard to turn widgets on or off and change their order.
Choose your child
If you have more than one child at the school, select the child's name at the top of the page and choose another child. Every page then shows that child's information.
If a child is not listed, contact your school's administration team so they can link your account. Faria Support cannot change the children linked to your account.
Classes, units and tasks
Select Classes in the left menu to see all of your child's classes. Each class has Units and Tasks lists, the teachers, absences and class discussions.
Select a class to open its Overview, which shows the most recent task grade and teacher comment. The Class Stream and Discussions tabs show what the class has shared.
Select a unit to see what is being taught.
Calendar
Select Calendar in the left menu for your child's lessons, tasks and events. Use Filters to show only some classes or categories, and Subscribe to Calendar to add it to Google, Outlook or Apple calendars.
Portfolio
Select Portfolio to see the work, goals and reflections on your child's timeline. If the school allows it, you can like or comment on items.
Discussions
Class and year group discussions show posts from teachers and the school, with any files attached. Open them from the Discussions tab of a class or year group.
Academic Profile
Select Academic Profile in the left menu. The tabs are Profile, Exam Planner, Attendance & Timetable, Reports and Behaviour & Discipline, depending on what your school uses.
The Members panel on the right lists your school's key contacts, such as the homeroom advisor. Contact them for changes to your email address, your details or the children linked to your account.
Attendance and timetable
Open Academic Profile > Attendance & Timetable for attendance records and the class timetable. Select Export to PDF for a copy of the timetable. If your school allows it, report an absence with Excusal Request on My Workspace.
More: Viewing your child's calendar, attendance and timetable.
Reports
Open Academic Profile > Reports, or select Reports on My Workspace, for term reports and progress reports by academic year. Open a report to read it or download the PDF. Reports appear once your school releases them.
More: Understanding your child's report card and term grades.
Parents Association
If your school uses it, Parents Association in the left menu keeps you in touch with teachers and other parents, with Overview, Discussions, Calendar and Files tabs. Your school chooses its name and whether parents can post.
Your own profile
Select your name at the top right, then Manage Your Profile. Select Edit Profile to change your email, password or photo, and Notification Preferences to choose which emails you receive. If your school has locked profiles, ask a key contact to make the change.
