Student contacts that have been added as a Parent may have the ability to add a photo of a student to the student’s feed using the mobile app. This allows contacts to share photos of activities, projects, milestones, and more! Once the photo is added, it will be viewable by school administrators, staff, and other student contacts.

Parents can also edit/delete a photo once uploaded from the mobile app or web.

💡 If this functionality is not available, program administrators may not have enabled it. We recommend reaching out to an administrator to discuss this feature if this is the case for you.

Upload a Photo using Messaging

If a parent contact needs wants to upload a photo to share with a program Admin or Teacher, but doesn't want to add it to the student's Feed - it can be shared in a message! Learn more about attaching media to messages.
