Exceptional Parent Portal
Reviewed on 2020/02/21
Pros
ParentLocker is so intelligently designed, as if the engineers who set it up were previously school administrators. In every interface -- attendance, report cards, student/family data system, parent conference scheduler, group email system, reports -- there are so many smart, helpful, useful details. This system has professionalized our administration, and was really easy to learn. It's extremely intuitive. I just love everything about it. Two new amazing additions: They allow integration of Google Classroom with the portal's student organizer, and added a whole financial module, so we can set up our student contracts and payment through FACTS. The customer service team is very responsive, and has even tweaked some of it's products to make the system better for us.
Cons
I would love it if they would make a few more parts mobile friendly, mainly the email system, so you could use it in an emergency from your phone easily, and it would be great if there were a dismissal module. Also, setting up forms for families to fill out, so the information flows into the database, can be a little difficult.

My overall experience is positive, Parentlocker is always there for help. They respond to the emails in less than 24 hours and they are efficient.
You are not being tossed between people.
You issue is followed till it's solved.
Pros
The things I like about this software is :
-You can customize easily report card and progress report
-If you made a mistake, supports helps you retrieve the data you lost
-Reports from the school data base is an easy step
- Support is always ready and eager to provide your need and customize reports for your need (we were able to change our attendance report to fir our need)
Cons
At this point, I wish sharing with google classroom had more control on the sharing items (for example except streaming)
-different languages for communication with parents, so that parents that are bilingual can easily read our messages.

We use Parent Locker as our Student Information System (SIS). Its our database for all of the information we have on each student.
All of our classes and groups (ie teams or bus groups) are set up on PL inducing rosters, attendance, grade books for teachers, grades and report cards, discipline notes, test calendar.
We use it for most of our communication with parents.
We use the calendar.
PL schedules all of our parent-teacher conferences.
This year we started using the admissions database with our own custom forms. Now new records are created by families as they apply and we do minimal data entry.
We are also starting to create tuition agreements with the financials module.
Pros
It does exactly what it needs to
Clean and intuitive interface
Outstanding support
It is very easy to customize with a a little bit of training and playing around- need to wait for the developers to do every little change. You don't have to be a computer expert to set it up.
Cons
The app needs a little work but I heard they are redoing it- looking forward

Torah Academy of Boca Raton entered a new echelon of professionalism, communication, collaboration and clarity thanks to Parentlocker features including emails, homework updates, report cards, and more.
Pros
Parentlocker offers a user-friendly, integrated platform for successfully and smoothly managing student information, attendance, report cards, emails, teacher assignments, test calendars, parent conferences, and much more!
Cons
The software is designed, as the name indicates, with parents in mind. Teachers are secondary but also addressed overall. It is not as intuitively designed for administrator needs and management of teachers as well as students. Some more complex areas of the software also are missing needed features or customization. However, the software team is extremely responsive and receptive to feedback, and is constantly upgrading the software to meet our needs.

ParentLocker has been such a big success at our school. It is very easy to manage the system, and any support that is needed is quickly provided. While we do not take advantage of all the many features that ParentLocker has to offer, it provides our staff with a neat, clean and organized workspace and an easy hub for communication between different parties.
Another fantastic feature is the ability to submit suggestions. They truly take every suggestion into consideration and are true to their word when they say they will try and create something for you. There have been a couple of times where we asked if something could be added to our page and within several days they create what you need. ParentLocker and the support team have been a valuable asset to our school.
Pros
Easy to use. Support is great, knowledgeable and very helpful.
Cons
Certain administrative tasks need to be carried out on their side. I feel guilty about contacting them for something simple that I feel that I can do, but they do not mind doing whatever the task is. Maybe lack of more administrative features?

ParentLocker - Made our lives so much easier
Reviewed on 2021/08/10
Pros
ParentLocker is a superb Student Information System. It has transformed the ability for us to function as a school with tracking attendance, student demographic information, report cards, communication with parents and so much more. It is user-friendly. Their customer service is great. We have a faculty that is not so technically savvy, but we were able to acclimate them to using many of the systems with nearly no in-service training as it is so intuitive. The entire interface is great.
Cons
The App is very basic. I know they are working on this, but currently, from a functional standpoint, we need to access from a phone through a browser which makes it a challenge on a phone.

As a user from outside the organization (the purchasing school), I can't speak to the business side of the software.
Pros
ParentLocker is a convenient and efficient to keep updated with my child's school work , grades, homework and other school-related information. The phone app makes finding daily assignment available at the click of a finger, from anywhere.
Cons
I find the feature to contact teachers via email from within the app very useful. I do wish there was a better way to have communication between the teachers and students within the app. There is an entire part of the "triangle" that is left out of the app, and not being able to have effective communication between the school and the entire family ( parents AND students) creates some extra work.

We have been utilizing ParentLocker for a number of years for Teacher-Parent communications, report cards, Parent-Teacher conferences, lesson plans and homework communications. We have had a positive experience with the program and find it easy to use. It is accessible to parents, teachers and administrators alike. The tutorials that ParentLocker provides are simple and user friendly and the updates are always timely. Occasionally there are questions or features of the program that are unfamiliar. For these items, it would be helpful to have a help feature that could give an overview of how to use it. However, when we seek support, the ParentLocker team is quick to respond. Overall we find this program useful and compatible with our needs and recommend it for use by other schools.

Overall, our experience with Parent Locker has been strong, and their team's quick response times when we have issues and willingness to work with us to design what we need has really maximized our experience.
Pros
Parent Locker is a wonderful tool for managing the seemingly infinite amounts of data that we have to track in running our school. From student schedules and grades, to a full database of family information, to lesson plans and report cards, to a variety of communication tools - Parent Locker allows us to stay on top of our school.
Cons
I would love to be able to be signed in on more than one device at a time.

We use Parent Locker for report cards, student records, grades, attendance tracking, and parent contacts. It serves our needs very effectively.
Pros
Parent Locker is the most user-friendly software I've used. It has all of the features our school needs at a significantly cost than the two previous programs we have used over the years. The information I seek is easily accessible and the service we have received when needed has been respectful and effective. I highly recommend Parent Locker and am appreciative that it is available to us.
Cons
It took a little longer initially to get the guidance we needed to get set up but found that scheduling time for support worked better for us and for Parent Locker staff.

Parent Locker is very easy to use. I love how I can access parent info with a click of a button, how easy it is to change info around to make it more accommodating for admin users. I also appreciate and love how customer service is so nice and quick to fix minor issues and in answering all my questions!
Pros
I like how when I search for a parent or a child all their info is right there with one click of a button. All the child's info parents info, etc. its easy to edit and to use. Its self-explanatory also which helps a lot if I ever needed editing.
Cons
one thing I would like to change is the labels. I would like to have access and be able to open the labels from Parent Locker into a word document and be able to modify the labels if needed in terms of its font and size.
