Hi @SIMS_Customer_Support, Thank you. I've emailed the Help email address, asking if/how it would be possible for us. Do you know if other schools are able to sync their pupil photos from MIS to ParentPay? Or is ParentPay transitioning over to manual upload only?

Hi @SIMS_Customer_Support, We were in touch with Support, who says that the syncing of photos is no longer possible for us, which is why I’ve come here to EduGeek. Should it be possible to have the photos syncing automatically from iSAMS? Happy to speak with them again. Are there contact details you can share for me to contact them? Or do I need to share mine with you first?

Does anyone have iSAMS & ParentPay for cashless catering? We have the pupil details syncing via Xporter, and used to have the pupil photos syncing (via an API key to BlueRunner) but ParentPay now say the BlueRunner API is no longer in use and we can't have the photos syncing, we'd have to manually update them when we have new photos taken. Manually uploading the photos is doable, but syncing would be prefered. I may be clutching at straws here, but is there any way to get the pupil photos to sync automatically? Or uploaded/imported in bulk?

I see there is a DfE Sign In for DfE services. I wonder if there could be an equivilent login for the NHS so schools could login and view/manage pupil data, import pupil data via CSV file (as an extra option to syncing via Wonde, were that to become an option). https://services.signin.education.gov.uk/

We have a couple of pupils not able to view their Teams in the iPad Teams app, but can see them when logged into Teams via Chrome on a Windows desktop. The rest of the class access their teams via the iPad app. I've tried all the usual clearing app data, signing out/back in, reinstalling the iPad app, to no avail. These two pupils can see a couple of Teams from last academic year on their iPads, but not the ones from the current academic year. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Thank you. James

We use PASS for our MIS, and have My School Portal for parents to be able to view their child's info, book clubs, etc. The connection between the SQL database behind PASS and My School Portal relies on us sending My School Portal a CA Root Certificate. We have the the certificates last for a year, so we create a new one annually to send over. The person who did this for us has left, and we are struggling to create a certificate now that the one made last year has expired. Does anyone have any experience of created CA Root Certificates, and would be willing to help us out? Thank you.

There are some companies that will collect for free, then sell on what they can, or recycle what they can’t (selling on the scrap metal where they can). e.g. SPC https://www.spcomm.co.uk
