MCAS - Parent account self Sign Up
MyChildAtSchool Parent Login
Parents can now set up their new parent account (email address and password) directly from the Parent Login screen. Parents will need to select the Sign Up link. In the Parent Sign Up screen they will need to enter the school's Postcode or School ID to see the school and select from the dropdown. Clicking Continue prompts parents to enter an email address and then click Sign Up.
After parents have entered their Email address and clicked on the Sign Up button, checks will take place to certify that:
- The school has given the parent Parental Responsibility.
- The school has linked the parent and the parent's email address to a student in the school's MIS.
- The account should not have previously been activated.
Once the checks are passed, the parent will see the message 'To complete your registration, we have sent an email to the email address you provided. Please access your email and follow the steps to create your password'.
Parents will receive an email with a link to a one time passcode.
After verifying the code in the link they will be asked to create a password for the account. Parents will then be able to login with their email address and password.

To allow parents to perform Self Sign Up, schools will need to tick the checkbox Enable Self Sign-Up for Parents and Save. This will work only for parents with Parental Responsibility (found in Students > Student Details > Contacts > Linked Students).
Note: If Enable Self-Sign Up for Parents is not ticked, parents will see the message 'Self Sign-Up is not enabled for this school. Please contact the school to gain access to your child’s account'.
