Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

What can parents of boarders see?+

The parent portal can show hostel room, house, mess menu, residential leave status, warden contacts, fees, and grades in one login.

Before the first collection cycle, reconcile one paid, partially paid, and overdue student account so the family receipt and finance view agree. Keep any tax, gateway, refund, or accounting boundary as an explicit deployment decision.

Can one account include day and boarding siblings?+

Yes. The multi-child dashboard can combine day-school and boarding students while keeping each child’s residential context scoped correctly.

Test the guardian link and publication boundary with a sample family before inviting the wider parent community. Confirm that each linked child exposes only the records the school intends.

Does boarding information require another parent app?+

No. Room, dining, leave, and warden context extends the existing parent portal rather than requiring a separate residential application.

Treat that boundary as an explicit procurement or deployment decision. Document the responsible owner and any supporting process before rollout.

Can boarding charges appear with tuition?+

Unified fee views place boarding and tuition charges in the same family statement when those fee lines are configured.

Before the first collection cycle, reconcile one paid, partially paid, and overdue student account so the family receipt and finance view agree. Keep any tax, gateway, refund, or accounting boundary as an explicit deployment decision.
