Parent communication made easy from A to Z. Parro is the parental application developed by ParnasSys, designed for seamless communication, organization, and administration.

The strong integration between Parro and ParnasSys facilitates smooth management of all administrative responsibilities. This includes handling student absences and privacy settings while ensuring medical and contact details are easily accessible.

Additionally, you have control over your schedule by using features like silent mode. You can securely share photos, videos, and other information with parents, organize activities and meetings efficiently, quickly send announcements or calendar updates to the entire school, and enable parents to report absences and privacy preferences conveniently.

Student registration (new)

In this article we will discuss the new registration route for manually registering new students in ParnasSys. This new functionality will be available alongside the old functionality until the summer of 2025. After that, it will replace the old registration route.

The following will be discussed in this article:

A new way to register a student in ParnasSys

In this article you will find a step-by-step plan for manually registering a new student via the new registration route. If the school of origin has prepared an OSO file for the student, you can import the student data from the school of origin. If the OSO file is still pending, you can already briefly register the student manually. At a later time, you can use the OSO file to supplement the existing student file.

Manually register a new student in ParnasSys

Step 1 - Enter student data

Navigate to the Student tab.

Click on the Register student new button at the bottom. You will now arrive at the Step 1 - Enter student data page.

Fill in at least the mandatory green fields and any other relevant fields.

In the example below, we also register the place of birth, nationality, cultural background and a date of registration.

For example, if you also want to register medical data, or enter data relating to another collapsed component, click on the downward-facing arrow of the component to unfold this component. You can now enter the desired components.

Click on Next to go to the next step.

Step 2 - Add school year

Select the school year that the student has at the time that the student starts education.

If the group and education are already known, you can also register these. In addition, you can register an experiment, if this is the case.

Click on Next to go to the next step.

Step 3 - Enter family

ParnasSys will provide suggestions for family members of the student. This is done first based on the student's home address that you just entered. ParnasSys then determines which students and caregivers these possible family members are linked to, because this may be relevant for the student you are now entering, and the list of possible family members can be expanded to a maximum of ten suggestions in total.

If family members of the student are already shown, do the following:

Register the relationship to the student for each family member.

Then check the desired preferences for each caregiver, such as legal authority and permitted communication methods. All communication methods are selected by default.

Then click on Link behind each family member to actually link this family member to the student.

If there are still family members missing, you can use the Find caregiver and Find brother or sister buttons in ParnasSys to search for the missing caregiver(s), brother(s) and/or sister(s).

If a caregiver is not yet registered in ParnasSys, you can still add this caregiver using the Add new caregiver button.

    Het systeem werkt meestal goed. Alleen de notificaties geven problemen. Zelfs na het uitschakelen van batterij-optimalisatie blijven ze uit. Frustrerend!

    Since April 1st, Parro has been a nightmare. Opened the app for school updates, and bam! Logged out. Tried to log back in, tried changing my password, but nothing worked. Reached out to the school for help. They sent new links, but none worked either. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Now, it's been three days without access. Struggling to keep up with school activities for my daughter during quarantine. So frustrating!

    This app is nice. However, the push notifications become a hassle. They flood my phone with alerts for every little thing added to the calendar. Many of these events don’t matter to me and come in large batches. It would be great to choose which notifications I want to see.

    De app staat niet toe om op twee apparaten tegelijk te gebruiken. Dat lijkt een beperking te zijn. Bijlagen openen op de telefoon kan soms lastig zijn. Sommige PDF-bestanden verschijnen als ongeldig en laten zich niet weergeven. Dat frustreert echt. Het zou handig zijn als je alles op verschillende apparaten kon gebruiken.
