The Academic tab in the parent portal
Parents access the academic section by tapping Academic in the bottom navigation of the parent portal. The Academic tab has three sections:
- Homework, current and past homework tasks
- Grades, CA scores as they are released by the school
- Report Card, end-of-term report (available when published)
Homework
The Homework section lists all homework tasks assigned to the child's class, sorted by due date (most urgent first). For each task, parents can see:
- Subject and title
- Full description and any attached worksheet (tap to download)
- Due date (shown as days remaining: "Due in 2 days")
- Completion status: Not started / Done at Home / Marked
Marking homework done at home
- Tap the homework task.
- Tap Mark as Done at Home.
- Optionally, type a note for the teacher (e.g. "She found question 3 easy but struggled with question 4.").
- Optionally, upload a photo of the completed work.
- Tap Save. The teacher sees your note the next morning.
Grades
The Grades section shows the child's scores as the school releases them during the term. The school controls what is visible, the admin may release CA1 scores early in the term to let parents track progress, or hold all scores until the report card is published.
When grades are visible, parents see:
- Subject name
- CA1 score (out of the component maximum)
- CA2 score (when released)
- Exam score (when released)
- Total and grade band
Report card
At the end of term, when the school publishes report cards, a notification appears in the parent portal. To view the report card:
- Tap Report Cards.
- Select the term (current or previous terms are available).
- The report card displays on screen. Tap Download PDF to save or print it.
Past terms
Parents can view report cards from all previous terms while their child is enrolled. After the child leaves the school, report cards remain accessible for 12 months. After 12 months, they are archived, contact support@schoolvault.ng to request access to archived records.
