Overview
Your Parent Edmodo Account allows you to keep
track of what is happening in your child’s Edmodo
account. There are two main features which
should be of use to you:
Assignments: see what homework your child has
been set and when they are due
Notifications: see any messages sent by subject
teachers to your child (these could be individual or
group messages)
All teachers are expected to set homework via
Edmodo.
1a. Create your Edmodo parent account
a. Get your unique 6 digit parent code from
your child: this is on your child’s
Edmodo homepage (bottom left hand
corner)
b. Go to www.pfa.edmodo.com
c. ‘I’m a parent’
You do not have to share a Parent
Account with another parent, relative,
or guardian. Multiple Parent Accounts
can be set up for one student. Simply
use the same Parent Code found on
the student’s account to create a
second Parent Account (must have a
different email address).
1b. Adding multiple children
Each child has a
different parent
code.
NB. If your child
created two
accounts by mistake
and you linked them
both to your Parent
Account, you can
easily remove the
duplicate account.
2. Parent homepage highlights
3. Supporting your child with homework
4. Keep up to date with communications
You will only see
these posts on your
account if the
teacher has
included the Parent
Group in the post,
or if your child’s
teacher has sent a
direct message to
just your child (or
vice versa).

7. Mobile Learning available
• Mobile app available for
iOS (iPad/iPhone/iPod
Touch) and Android.
• Access Edmodo on
any mobile browser
at m.edmodo.com.
• Get updates and
notifications on the go.
8. Guidelines we set students
• Check your Edmodo account regularly.
• Only send messages/ posts if they are linked to the
assignments/ hw.
• Remember that everything you send or say online can
be traced back to you.
• Allow teachers time to get back to you OR it might be
easier to speak to him/ her if it is urgent.
We hope that you will find Edmodo helpful in supporting
your child with his/ her school work.
