How parents access Student Journals

Parents can access their child’s journal via their own version of the ReallySchool app.

They can view a timeline of their child’s observations and home learning activities, play back videos and audio clips etc.

Then, if they select the elipsis menu, they can choose to download a PDF journal of their child’s observations and home learning activities. They can choose any filters they want to apply then download the document.
