Parents can edit their child's profile including address, authorized caregivers and profile photos
This article applies to the Procare Online platform only. For those centers using Procare Desktop with the engagement functionality, parents update their family records via MyProcare.
Save time and allow families to enter/edit their account information! Once you enter the student's name and the parent's name and contact information, they can enter the rest. Please be aware that you will not be notified of any updates made my parents.
This feature could be helpful to enable at the start of the new school year so parents can confirm/update details as necessary.
Please Note: Parents are unable to update immunization records on their child's profile; only staff can do that from the website.
Allowing Parents to Edit
To enable this feature, navigate to School Settings > Settings and enable "Allow Parent to Edit Family Records."
