What is the difference between a Parent 1 and a Parent/Driver?

Parent 1

The Parent 1 is the main parent record that a student is attached to.  Parent 1 can be a parent or guardian. In split households with shared custody, each parent can be a Parent 1 - If you need this to be set up for your family, please contact your school administrator.

Parent/Driver (Authorized drivers)

A Parent/Driver is an additional parent, and any other person authorized to pick up students in their family. This could be the spouse, grandparents, family friend, caregiver, etc.  Parent/Drivers can be added and removed at any time by the Parent 1 account.

About Parent/Drivers:

• Parent/Drivers who have a valid email address entered into their record may make student arrival/dismissal changes and will also be notified of all changes for that student. 

• Parent/Drivers may not add additional Parent/Drivers. Parent 1's can add/delete Parent/Drivers.  Parent 1 can add as many drivers as they wish.

• Parent/Drivers entered without a valid email address are on the list of people authorized to pick up Students in that family, but they are not able to make dismissal changes for those Students.
