Every school with a parent portal has the same problem: parents don't log in. They forget the password, hate the experience, miss the email about grades. WebBoard's solution is to skip parent accounts entirely.
How it works:
Teacher or admin generates a ParentViewToken from the dashboard, scoped per class or per student
Parent receives a time-limited link in an email or SMS
Parent clicks the link, sees grades and attendance for that student, and that's it
No account creation, no password setup, no second factor
Tokens are revocable and expire automatically
Guardian profiles:
Multiple guardians per student
Per-guardian relationship (mother, father, grandparent, legal guardian)
Phone, email, primary and emergency flags
This is the single most-loved feature among the principals we've talked to: the school finally has a way to communicate grades and attendance to parents without battling parent-portal adoption.
