The School Loop system provides parents, students and teachers with a wealth of information about the academic life of a student. Most of the data that School Loop provides, is general to the school or to a particular class. The only true piece of 'personal data' that School Loop collects and provides back to parents and students are student grades. Since student grades are individualized and are held privately by the schools, School Loop requires an additional step in the process for parents to view student grades. Students can view grades, regardless of their parent's approval status. Parents cannot receive Loop Mail from teachers if they have not been approved.

Once a teacher is logged into School Loop, along the right hand side of the teacher home page there is a graphic called, "Teacher Tools." There are many different things teachers can do with the links here, but to approve parents you need to select, "Parent Directory."




The next screen that opens, will have all of the parents of your students, who are registered School Loop members listed. There are several columns of information listed here, but you need to concentrate on the far left and right hand columns. The far right column shows the parent's approval status. If they are not approved, it will show 'Not Approved' in red in that column. If you look along the same line, the far left hand column will have a check box in red, corresponding to this parent's approval status. To approve the parent, click inside of the red check box on the left and click on the blue 'Submit' button on the right.
