What Parent portal are you using with iSAMS?

[denzal2k4]

So we find ourselves on a journey looking for a new Parent Portal, we want something that hopefully can replace some of our other Systems (SOCS, SchoolCloud, iSAMS Parent Portal), needs to have good comms and hopefully the ability to update and writeback key information INCLUDING MEDICAL!!! As far as I am aware there isn't one that can update Medical info as iSAMS don't allow it, but please prove me wrong. We had a demo of MySchoolPortal and it looks fine but wouldn't be good enough for us to replace existing systems, also doesn't currently have an app, and would be another layer on top. In a dream world Edulink would work with iSAMS.

 

What are you lot using?

Edulink does work with iSAMS

Shut the front door.

 

Last time I checked they said they didn't and had no plans too. Very exciting if true!

Hi Dave, Are you using it with iSAMS, what has your experience been like?

 

We have it setup as a demo currently, I won't lie it feels like they are still getting it to work I have spotted a few issues but as always top effort on their part, they always get issues resolved quickly, the bits we feel are missing are report publishing and editing of contact info and medical data.

 

Thanks

According to the latest webinar, the latest iSAMS Parent Portal has medical data accessible.

It does, of sorts and it isn't updateable, it also has other stupid glitches that they have no interest in fixing. Apparently what we are asking for no-one can offer currently, not MySchoolPortal or Firefly or Edulink. iSAMS have said they have a new API they are using and it does allow medical data to be written back so hopefully it won't be long now!

We don't actually use it - just spoke with them a couple of weeks ago
