FURTHER INFORMATION:

The system is completely automated and requires no new process or actions within the school. All information is extracted directly from the school’s Management Information System (MIS) and the school decides what information parents may view.

Parents will be presented with information for each of their children no matter which school the child is in (assuming each of the schools involved are using Emerge). The information available is the same as for teachers with small exceptions to comply with

data protection guidelines such as viewing other participants in achievement or behavioural events.

Emerge for Parents is currently available on Apple iOS and Android devices.
