What do you like best about ParentLocker?

Ease of use, automation of payments, and reporting. Our collections keep going up and up! This system is incredible - it is easy to set up and use, and streamlined our entire operations. Sending out and updating contracts is a breeze - everything is digital and accessible from the cloud. I can access ParentLocker daily from my phone, laptop, and office computer. From filling out applications/forms, to enrolling each grade, to monitoring payments, the system simply can't be beat. We were on three previous financial systems and this one is far superior! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentLocker?

To customize a report, you need to email their support team. They are generally quick to reply and help run the report, but would be ideal if the interface for a school specific report showed up on my side bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ParentLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

ParentLocker is helping us keep track of our student contracts and collections in an easy, in your face manner. Every family's obligation is clearly laid out - the system integrates the SIS with the financials seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentLocker?

I use their reporting module and save reports for myself, but I can't share my reports with my colleagues; they have to create them individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ParentLocker solving and how is that benefiting you?

The dismissal module manages changes for students leaving, staying after school or being picked up in a different way. The finance module manages tuition payments, incidential charges like lunch and transporation, purchases for activities, scholarship applications, and other credits. The admissions module manages new applicants and brings them through the evaluation process for our team. Our admin, faculty and teachers can send professional emails to their classes, by grade or division, groups or the entire school based on the permissions we set.

What do you like best about ParentLocker?

I find Parent Locker very easy to use; it serves as a great one-stop shop for keeping track of various school-related functions. We utilize it for tracking tuition payments, managing admissions, and monitoring attendance. Additionally, we use it for sending out school emails and updating school directories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentLocker?

We would like parent locker to be able to run a report as of a certain date. For example, if we run a tuition collection payment through 8/31/24 we want it to ONLY show data through 8/31/24.

If we run a report to see whats open on 8/31/24 on 12/3, we dont want to see whats open as of 12/3, we want to see whats open as of 8/31/24 NOT through 12/3 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
