Schools usually put the same kinds of things in every parent portal. Here’s a simple structure that keeps parents informed without another flood of emails.

- Key contacts
Announcements
- School news
- Term updates

Parents need a place to find things — without emailing you
As a school, you’re under a lot of pressure to educate the next generation and give parents a worry-free experience.
With all the forms, waivers, announcements and information parents need, it can be difficult for them (and you) to keep it organised in one place.
Client Portal gives each parent a simple dashboard on your own WordPress site. They’ll have access to everything they need, so they won’t keep emailing or calling for the same information.
One place for parents, on your school’s website
Client Portal is a WordPress plugin. It runs on your own site, so parents see yourschool.com — not someone else’s logo.
Embed Google Calendars, link to forms and waivers, and keep announcements where parents can find them 24/7.
One licence covers unlimited parent portals on a single WordPress site.
How it works
Start from a portal structure.Use the phases above, or adapt what you already send parents by email.
Add calendars, forms and files.Embed what you already use — nothing has to move.
Invite parents.Send one link at the start of the year. Same place all term.
Update when things change.Parents get notifications when you add something new.
“I finally feel like a proper agency now I have Client Portal. It’s something I’ve always wanted but I’ve never been able to find anything close to it.”

What people say about Client Portal
Your platform is dead simple, easy to customize, and beautiful on mobile. It allowed us to launch our new client dashboard 3 weeks ahead of schedule!
–Richard Walsh
Client Portal is great. The incremental improvements over the past few years has been excellent. It helps me keep all of the client's "stuff" in one place.
–Evan DeLaney @ Montessori Digital Group
I am loving Client Portal. I'm building an employee portal and I just got to the point where I can open it up to employees for a couple of required trainings! Whoop Whoop!!! And the few employees that have registered and gone through the trainings so far, well, they are beyond impressed with the site!

Is Client Portal right for your school?
It’s a good fit if:
- Your site runs on WordPress
- You want parents to have one place for announcements, calendars and forms
- You’re tired of resending the same information by email
It’s probably not the right fit if:
- You need a full school MIS / parent app with payments and attendance. Client Portal is for organising the client-facing side of information, not replacing your MIS.
- You’re not on WordPress. Client Portal is a plugin, so it needs a WordPress site.
