You can see what lessons and events your child is taking part in on the Parent Portal and on the Parent App. Take a look below to see how to use the areas.
The calendar on Parent Portal
The Calendar page shows the student's timetable, including any events the student has been invited to. Click the View Student Profile button and go to Calendar from the left-hand menu.
You can also access the calendar by clicking on the Calendar section.
On the homepage, click a lesson to see further details in a slide over.
The full calendar displays the current week by default.
- The month can be changed by clicking on the arrow next to the month and choosing another one.
- Change the view from day, week or month by clicking on the buttons.
Top Tip: Hover over an event for more details, or view the location by selecting the Day view.
Click on the arrows or the calendar icon at the top to look at the next academic year's lessons, registration form or teacher.
For Wraparound care clubs, please note that the calendar event will span the whole session. Hover over the event to see the actual session times.
Printable timetable on Parent Portal
Select Printable Timetable from your Quick Actions on your homepage, or go to the student's profile and select Printable Timetable from the left-hand menu.
Select either the current week or next week, then click Download. This will download your child's timetable as a PDF to your computer, likely into your downloads folder.
Top Tip: The format of the timetable is based on your school's settings - please contact your school for further information.
The calendar on the Parent App
From the Overview page (accessible by clicking the three lines button and going to Main Dashboard), you can see a calendar of all of their lessons and events for today.
Tap on the buttons to go back to past days, or jump ahead to future days.
Top Tip: You can only see events for the current academic year, so the buttons will not be clickable outside of these dates.
Tap on an item in the calendar for further details.
Printable timetable on the Parent App
Select the three lines in the bottom left of your app, and select Printable Timetable.
Select either the current week or next week, then click Download.
You can then see the timetable in the app. This will not download to your device, but you can take a screenshot.

Comments
In the current covid situation, we are desperately trying to show parents on their child's calendar if the lessons are live, remote or digital detox. The only we have found so far is that teachers can change the room name to LIVE, REMOTE Or DD. But this does not show up for the parents easily on the whole calendar but I think does on daily view (and possible the child's calendar?) Having this show or a way to email their child's timetable easily to parents with this info on would be helpful, as our parents are trying to ensure they are prepared for what and when their child is learning on line.
Need a bit more flexibility or a solution asap.
Hi Penny, thanks for your comment. I'm afraid we wouldn't advise running your digital/remote classes through Arbor, as all students who are not physically present on site due to the school being closed should be marked with the X code, regardless if they are attending online classes.
As such, there wouldn't be an easy way to get this to show for guardians on their calendar. If you wanted to share printable timetables, you would need to download them (shown here: https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/articles/208172769), then send them via a mail merge - a process similar to what's shown here: https://support.arbor-education.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011041358
Please get in touch with us via email if you need to discuss this further!
