Overview Your Parent Edmodo Account allows you to keep track of what is happening in your child’s Edmodo account. There are two main features which should be of use to you: Assignments: see what homework your child has been set and when they are due Notifications: see any messages sent by subject teachers to your child (these could be individual or group messages) All teachers are expected to set homework via Edmodo.

1a. Create your Edmodo parent account a. Get your unique 6 digit parent code from your child: this is on your child’s Edmodo homepage (bottom left hand corner) b. Go to c. ‘I’m a parent’ You do not have to share a Parent Account with another parent, relative, or guardian. Multiple Parent Accounts can be set up for one student. Simply use the same Parent Code found on the student’s account to create a second Parent Account (must have a different address).

1b. Adding multiple children Each child has a different parent code. NB. If your child created two accounts by mistake and you linked them both to your Parent Account, you can easily remove the duplicate account. Each child has a different parent code. NB.

Remember that everything you send or say online can be traced back to you. Allow teachers time to get back to you OR it might be easier to speak to him/ her if it is urgent.
